Beneficiary Tracking for Nonprofits using Salesforce
The Main Business is Beneficiaries
The goal of nonprofits is to meet the needs of the community or particular members of society. We refer to the members as beneficiaries because they benefit from the cause. They may include students in a dilapidated society, small-scale farmers who need to be supported, homeless persons, people ailing from a certain condition, or unemployed youth. Nonprofits analyze whether they are impacting society by having one-on-one on-site surveys or online forms. However, the approaches might not be informative to help improve the organization’s approach that would better meet the needs of the beneficiaries.
What is beneficiary tracking?
Beneficiary tracking or beneficiary monitoring is set to track beneficiaries’ perceptions of the project or program. It evaluates the program by checking feedbacks and complaints mechanisms. Nonprofits seek to improve the delivery of their services by listening to the insights given by the beneficiaries. Beneficiary monitoring helps to take into account the ideas and insights of beneficiaries who daily experience the challenge of lacking capital or access to resources. They can provide platforms for beneficiaries to share their stories and what they would expect from the nonprofits. The organizations and agencies would take the information and plan on working towards enhancing their services.
