SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- SuiteConnect
-- To help nonprofits and social enterprises across the
world accelerate their missions, Oracle NetSuite continues to
expand the NetSuite Social Impact program. Since introducing the
program in 2006, NetSuite has helped more than 1,500 nonprofits and
donated more than $100 million in
software. To increase its impact and help nonprofits of any size
spend more of their time and resources on changing the world,
NetSuite has expanded its Suite Pro Bono program, donated software
to more than 300 new nonprofits globally, and increased its
investments in partnerships through #ImpactCloud in the last
year.
"For more than 10 years, we've dedicated time and resources to
building a framework of solutions that can empower nonprofit
organizations to focus their time on changing the world," said
Evan Goldberg, EVP, Oracle NetSuite.
"We're proud of what we've achieved and know there is so much more
to be done. That's why we continue to expand our Social Impact
program to help apply the power of technology to some of the
world's most critical problems."
The Power of Three: Creating Lasting Impact for Social
Good
The NetSuite Social Impact program helps nonprofits
streamline business processes and focus time and resources on their
core mission. To date, the program has helped deliver impact in
three key areas:
- Suite Donation: To help nonprofits rapidly implement new
business systems in the cloud, NetSuite continues to offer Suite
Donation globally, a program which gives social enterprises and
nonprofits access to NetSuite's Nonprofit Solution. This has
enabled NetSuite to support over 300 new nonprofits, including
organizations in EMEA, APAC and Latin
America, within the last year.
- Suite Pro Bono: In the last year, NetSuite employees
contributed more than 6,000 hours across the globe through Suite
Pro Bono, a program that gives nonprofits access to the skills and
expertise of NetSuite employees. Building on its success, NetSuite
has expanded its Buildathon 4Good events which have served 82
customers in the two years since its launch. At SuiteConnect San
Francisco, attendees can participate in the latest Buildathon4Good
with Bay Area nonprofits including, Creativity Explored, Positive
Coaching Alliances and California Association of Food Banks.
- Suite Capacity: To help nonprofits build organizational
capacity, NetSuite has re-launched Suite Capacity, a program that
helps organizations share best practices with each other and learn
how to best leverage NetSuite for their operations.
Building a Better World with Partners
To help
nonprofits enable organizations through the power of technology,
NetSuite continues to partner with #ImpactCloud, a coalition of
technology companies built to accelerate the impact of leading
nonprofits. Recent projects include:
- Full Circle Fund: NetSuite has invested $15,000 in a new tech accelerator fund with the
Full Circle Fund, as part of a collaboration with 10 other Silicon
Valley companies from #ImpactCloud. The program will go beyond
traditional skill-based volunteering to deliver resources and
intellectual capital to Bay Area nonprofits leveraging tech
solutions for good.
- NetHope Center for the Digital Nonprofit: To provide
nonprofits with ongoing guidance, consulting and technology
expertise, NetSuite has become a founding member of NetHope's
Center for the Digital Nonprofit. NetHope is a global consortium
that delivers over 60 percent of all international and
nongovernmental aid to the nonprofit sector each year.
Supporting Quotes from Nonprofits
Full Circle Fund is
a nonprofit community that leverages its professionals' time,
resources and intellectual capital to help nonprofits increase
their impact and build a better Bay Area.
"Silicon Valley has the power and access to solutions that can
change the world," said Dan Steif,
Head of Business Development, Full Circle Fund. "It's our
responsibility to help bring this community together to build a
better Bay Area by providing the resources, intellectual capital
and expertise to ensure nonprofit leaders can achieve their
missions. We're excited to see all the ways we'll be able to
accelerate nonprofit organizations with the help of NetSuite's
investment, people and time for a lasting community impact."
Creativity Explored is a nonprofit art center in
San Francisco that gives artists
with developmental disabilities the means to create and share their
work.
"Before NetSuite our finances and databases looked like a
Jackson Pollock painting, the data
was connected but void of any real organization. We had the donor
info in one place, customer info in another and our payment system
to artists somewhere else. There was zero integration," said
Ann Kappes, director of licensing,
Creativity Explored. "NetSuite gives us real-time visibility into
our organization, which allows us to operate more efficiently and
report the outcome of all financial operations to our staff, donors
and board of directors."
