“Not for profit is a tax designation – not an operational strategy.”

Most nonprofits are faced with many of the same challenges and issues that businesses face. (See Nonprofit Challenges & Issues). To be successful in maximizing their impact, nonprofits need to operate with the same efficiencies, effectiveness and cost controls of successful businesses and franchises. In large part their success will be driven by their business model and their ability to “systematize” their operations. This includes the development of standard operating procedures, administrative controls, and training & management systems. This leads to predictable and consistent results within all critical systems and processes including program and service delivery, volunteer administration, and fundraising.
Every nonprofit is unique, with its own set of mission-specific programs and practices and its own strategies for success. And whether you're a large or small nonprofit, TouchStone can provide you with comprehensive, customized organizational development and management tools that help managers, employees and volunteers stay focused and aligned. The TouchStone library for nonprofits focuses on providing processes and tools to address the Nonprofit Critical Requirements for Success.
In TouchStone for nonprofits the core key functions have been more appropriately named and built out as:
GUIDING the organization = leadership, management and strategic systems
SUPPORTING the organization = marketing, development, and volunteer administration systems
DELIVERING programs and services = program and service development and delivery
RUNNING the organization = financial, HR and other administrative systems
TouchStone is an on-demand web based application – it is simple, straight forward, easy-to-use and affordable. In essence it can power your nonprofit to success.

Does your organization suffer from employee and volunteer inefficiency and wasted time? Studies show the average staff member wastes 150 hours each year...
...looking for things, looking for paper files, looking for electronic files, looking for old emails, looking for methodology on how to do things. With current and well-documented business processes and systems, much of this wasted time can be eliminated.
In organizations with just five minimum wage employees, the lost opportunity cost is over $60,000. Today, nonprofits face an increasing demand for their services while funding is, at best, level, or more likely decreasing. The ability to capture lost opportunity costs is huge!
For TouchStone users, what you are looking for is just a click away. If your TouchStone implementation can increase efficiency by just 50% in just one year the savings typically will pay for the account for 15 years. |
