Built for funders
Foundations, bilateral agencies, and philanthropies use CommCare to strengthen every organization they fund. Equip your whole portfolio with one platform, then see aligned results across all of it.
The Challenge
Funders want stronger results across their portfolios. Grantees want the technology and skills to deliver them. The support in between rarely matches: each organization buys different tools, reports different indicators, and starts over when the grant ends.
Grantees want technology support
Nonprofit leaders rank technology among their most requested areas of funder support.
Every grantee reports differently
Different tools and indicators make portfolio results hard to compare.
One-off tools do not last
Software without training fades when the funding ends.
Funders and grantees see the gap differently
When the Center for Effective Philanthropy asked both sides what grantees most need, technology was the clearest blind spot.
Information technology ranked the fourth most requested area of support by nonprofit leaders, after fundraising, staffing, and communications.
Yet only 15% of funders recognized technology as something grantees want to strengthen, versus 65% for fundraising.
