The Context
An independent charitable trust that supports community businesses run by, and for, local people with profits reinvested to benefit communities across England. They also work with a wide range of partners to provide investment, advice and support to help local people come together and take control. It uses an endowment of £150 million, provided by the Big Lottery Fund in 2015 with one ambition – better places through community business.
“The Salesforce implementation enabled us to have a single overview of the full range of grants we had made and how we were working with community businesses across the country.It tied together the details needed for our finance team with information on social impact and contextual information on the places our funds were reaching.The main benefit of working with Economic Change was shifting my perspective to think more broadly about business needs and how Salesforce could support those.They also guided us through the thinking of what processes and structures needed to be in place to enable that.”
