4 Ways Center Helps Non-Profits Thrive

By The Center Team on October 17, 2024

Non-profits have a tough job. They’re trying to make the world a better place, but they often have limited resources. And with the ever-changing landscape, it’s more important than ever for non-profits to be agile and efficient.

That’s where Center comes in. Center is a modern spend management solution that can help non-profits thrive. Here are four ways Center is changing how non-profits manage expenses:

 

1. Simplify operations and make every dollar count

Non-profits need to stretch every dollar. Center’s easy-to-use expense management software simplifies financial tasks, so organizations can focus on their mission instead of paperwork.

“Center has made expense reporting much faster and easier. It helps me manage expense reporting more efficiently and ensure accuracy when closing the books,” shares a non-profit organization manager.

With Center, non-profits can:

  • Spend less time on manual tasks
  • Improve financial reporting accuracy
  • Put more resources into core activities

2. Engage donors better and manage events more efficiently

Non-profits are continually adapting to stay connected with their donors and volunteers. Many now focus on a blend of in-person and virtual events, as well as smaller, more frequent campaigns throughout the year.

Center’s real-time expense tracking helps non-profits:

  • Quickly adapt to new event formats
  • Manage costs for multiple smaller campaigns
  • Provide up-to-date financial reports to donors

Amy F., CEO of a non-profit, says, “The time we save allows us to focus more on our mission and less on paperwork. We didn’t realize how much time we’d save or how easy it would be to switch to a new system.”

 

3. Stay flexible with real-time financial insights

Non-profits need to be ready to change course quickly. Center shows spending in real-time, helping organizations make informed decisions and adjust strategies on the fly.

A non-profit manager reports, “It’s easy to use, reminds us to log expenses, and works well with our camera for receipts. We can see all employee expenses in real-time, giving us a clear picture of our spending.”

With Center, non-profits can:

  • Monitor spending across departments and programs as it happens
  • Find ways to save money
  • Adapt quickly to financial changes

 

4. Maximize efficiency and stretch resources further

Non-profits often face resource constraints and need to do more with less. Center helps non-profits maximize their resources by:

  • Eliminating card and software fees
  • Reducing accounting costs through automated reconciliation
  • Improving cash flow management

Craig M., CEO of a non-profit, explains, “The software easily matches charges with receipts, even for foreign currency. It’s cut down our accounting costs significantly by eliminating end-of-month reconciliation. These savings allow our small non-profit to put more funds into our programs.”
