All about CharityTracker

A few days ago, Greg and I went to down Clanton to give a CharityTracker presentation. I was pretty pumped to go but, because of a head cold, I was feeling a little under the weather. Thankfully, Greg offered to drive so I could sleep (thanks Greg!).

The meeting we had was with United Way Directors from all over Alabama. I was glad to see many familiar faces I had met with over the last 4 or 5 months, and I was glad to finally meet the folks I had only had phone conversations with. Of the 28 Directors who were at the meeting, I knew about 10 of them.

Simon Solutions was first on the agenda for the directors meeting. (Many thanks to the directors who invited us!). I gave the quick version of the CharityTracker presentation and opened the floor for questions.

There were some great questions about security. When most people hear about an internet database they are concerned about privacy and safety from cyber crime. It’s a question I’ve fielded many times, and it’s a valid concern. People seem to feel better when I explain that our hosting company is housed in one of the most secure sites in the United States– it is audited four times a year by a third party company. We are 100% HIPAA compliant, and our applications are checked by our hosting company for vulnerabilities. They contact us if they find any holes in our security. And everything in CharityTracker is encrypted using the same encryption used by banks. Everything is safe and sound.

After the meeting I was able to touch base with a few United Way Directors who made the decision to go with CharityTracker. Greg and I left the meeting feeling very energized by the response and the great comments we heard about CharityTracker.
