Nonprofits in the Time of COVID-19

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues around the globe, many nonprofits are left in a precarious financial position due to canceled galas and events—which often constitute a vital portion of yearly fundraising revenue. Furthermore, nonprofits who engage with vulnerable populations through program and service delivery face another challenge: protecting their staff while continuing to help these vulnerable populations access the critical services they need.

Question on: NewOrg

How does NewOrg support data security and compliance?

Nonprofits and human services organizations often handle sensitive client, program, and donor data, which comes with real security and compliance expectations. Between permission-based access, audit trails, and regulations like HIPAA or PIPEDA. What does data security and compliance look like in NewOrg?

Security and compliance come up a lot given the type of data we're dealing with: client, program, donor, and operational info. NewOrg handles this through secure cloud-based data management, permission-based access, secure document storage and file sharing, electronic signatures, data ownership, and regular SQL backups. Every edit is also auditable, which helps with accountability and makes internal review or compliance checks a lot easier to manage. On the regulatory side, NewOrg supports privacy and compliance needs including HIPAA, PIPEDA, and FOIP-related requirements. If an organization has specific compliance requirements, it's worth raising those during the evaluation and implementation process so they can be addressed directly.

Question on: NewOrg

Does NewOrg include client or volunteer portals?

Organizations often need better ways to manage communication, intake, documents, and updates with clients or volunteers. Some handle this with email and shared folders; others use a dedicated portal. Where do portals actually fit into that process?

Yes, and it's actually one of the more flexible parts of the platform. NewOrg can support client, volunteer, partner, or public-facing portals depending on what the organization needs. We typically see them used for online applications, forms, document collection, scheduling, communication, and volunteer activity- basically any workflow that involves people outside the organization submitting or accessing information. The biggest benefit is cutting down on manual data entry and giving external users a secure way to interact with the org without needing staff to manually process every request.

Question on: NewOrg

Does NewOrg support grant management and funder reporting?

Grant-funded programs often need to organize activities, documentation, outcomes, and reporting requirements across multiple funding sources. What helps teams keep that information accurate, organized, and easier to report on?

Yes. NewOrg can help organizations track grant-related activity, documentation, services, outcomes, and reporting requirements in one system. Because the platform is configurable, reports can be aligned with funder requirements, program-specific metrics, and internal reporting needs. This helps nonprofits reduce manual reporting work, keep grant-related data organized, and make it easier to prepare accurate funder reports.
