All about CharityTracker

With so much going on across the country, we would love to provide you with brief update on our progress of helping communities unite and mobilize for common good.

Several of the largest food banks in Texas have implemented CharityTracker to streamline food distribution. Notably, one of the most important solutions CharityTracker offers food banks is accurate, instant reports. CharityTracker reveals a bird’s eye view of who’s being helped, by who, when and how within the community.

A very special thanks to Karla Cantu, Senior Director of Agency Relations for the Capital Area Food Bank of Texas. Karla invited Larry LaBarge, an owner and team member of Simon Solutions, to speak at a state-wide gathering of food bank Agency Relations Directors.

Also In Texas, we’re working with the OneStar Foundation to help in building capacity for collaboration and community partnerships, especially among food banks. In Michigan, we are working with Jeremy White, Restore Hope Consulting, in providing a “2-Rail Model for Collaborative Solutions” – technology and capacity-building.

In South Carolina, we’re partnering with The Benefit Bank and United Ways. Together, we are working on a possible state-wide launch of CharityTracker networks for every county in South Carolina. We are also developing a fast and easy way for sending out state-wide bulletins and alerts. This feature will give state leaders (emergency response directors, VOAD, FEMA) a simple way to quickly mobilize charitable organizations for emergency care and disaster relief throughout the entire state of South Carolina.

U.S. Senator Richard Shelby sent us an encouraging letter saying, “I commend the valuable work this organization [CharityTracker] is accomplishing in countless communities, and I look forward to hearing more stories of its success. I will support this organization’s efforts should a legislative opportunity arise in the 111th Congress”.

With great excitement, we’re proud to announce CharityTracker is going international. We’ve been invited to Canada to speak at a major conference to discuss a strategy for launching CharityTracker networks across their country.

We’re honored to receive encouraging words and the chance to see CharityTracker serving in the role we always wished – helping churches, nonprofits, and government agencies work together at grassroots levels.

Warmest Regards,

Mike Simon
President/CEO
