It is estimated that there are in excess of 9,000 charitable grant-makers in the UK varying from major institutions to small, family-run trusts. To an ever-greater extent, they are expected to operate within a framework of supervisory control. The strategic use of IT can help them provide clear information about their policies and achievements and meet the increasing demand from government and elsewhere for greater accountability.
For the larger trusts new legislative requirements may present no significant administrative burden. For the smaller ones they can put considerable strain on day-to-day operations. For these trusts, Issimo can bring the experience of over a hundred grant-making organisations and provide advice and practical suggestions about how to streamline and improve operations.
