New offering expands services for foundations
and demonstrates commitment to deliver tech-enabled solutions for
all stages of giving
FAIRFIELD, Conn., July 1, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Foundation Source, the nation's largest provider of
cloud-based solutions for private foundations and planned giving,
today announced it will offer end-to-end website services for
private foundations. This new offering is an extension of
Foundation Source's highly regarded suite of administrative,
compliance and tax solutions and expands its range of tech-enabled
services that help foundations operate more effectively. This is
the first joint initiative from Foundation Source and its planned
giving division, PG Calc, to deliver sophisticated solutions that
draw on the expertise in both organizations to make giving easier
and more efficient.
Having an enhanced digital presence enables private foundations
to communicate what's important to them, connect with potential
grantees and promote clear grant and application processes. At the
core of Foundation Source's offering is a deep understanding of the
foundation lifecycle and how digital tools and communications can
be used at each stage to help a foundation reach its goals. By
combining smart philanthropic technology – or PhilTech – with
decades of programmatic experience in the philanthropic sector,
Foundation Source ensures that foundations get a modern, dynamic
site that helps them increase transparency and amplify the impact
of their charitable giving while alleviating the administrative
burden associated with building, hosting, securing, and maintaining
a website.
Three distinct choices provide varying levels of features and
customization with support every step of the way – from initial
consultation and planning to design, development, testing, and
ongoing maintenance – ensuring that each site matches the
foundation's needs and complements its programs and grantmaking
priorities.
"Effectively communicating missions and goals is an essential
part of a foundation's strategy," said Gary
Pforzheimer, founder of PG Calc and president of planned
giving at Foundation Source. "We have helped thousands of
nonprofits promote their programs and attract donors through their
websites over the years and we're excited to expand these services
to grantmakers. Our services will help foster more collaboration
between foundations and nonprofits so they can drive an even bigger
impact."
Foundation Source's seasoned philanthropic and technical experts
collaborate closely with foundation leadership to bring their
visions to life and select the level of support that best fits each
organization's unique needs. As part of the offering, the company
provides guidance on site features, functionality, accessibility,
editorial content, editing, branding, imagery, typography, and data
analytics. Design and development specialists ensure each site
is visually compelling and intuitively functional, prioritizing
highly engaging and responsive design.
Key features of Foundation Source's managed website services
include:
- Full-service website development including content
development, branding and imagery customized to your needs and
informed by sector experience and best practices.
- Analytics to track who visits your website and monitor
if you are reaching your target audience.
- Built-in, on-page SEO and accessibility, including
mobile optimization and personal recommendations on content
organization and site navigation.
- Monitoring and detection tools to catch and respond
to security incidents in real-time to prevent potential security
breaches and create robust data privacy.
- Easy navigation and intuitive design for seamless
usability as well as effective content presentation.
- Dedicated support and maintenance services to
ensure websites remain secure, up-to-date, and optimized for
performance.
- Starter, Advanced, and Premium options to meet
current and growing needs.
"We continue to seek new opportunities to leverage PhilTech
throughout the charitable giving cycle while simplifying the
legwork for our clients so they can focus on what is most important
to them: their missions," said Joseph Mrak
III, CEO of Foundation Source. "Our deep foundation
expertise combined with a robust suite of technical and educational
resources provide a second-to-none experience for funders to
enhance their charitable efforts and build deeper connections with
their key stakeholders and nonprofit community at large."
