FLORENCE, Alabama, Feb. 20 /Christian Newswire/ -- Charitable organizations such as churches, faith-based nonprofits, and social agencies have long recognized the difficulties involved in allocating resources to those in need. The Society of St. Vincent de Paul in Northwest Alabama has found an effective way to help those truly in need and still stay in touch with other charitable organizations and identify any problems it may encounter.

Together with 40 other organizations in Alabama, St. Vincent de Paul uses CharityTracker™, a unique, simple-to-use online assistance tracking network built by Simon Solutions, Inc. This online network built to help reduce fraud and share resources and information within the community, provides St. Vincent de Paul an effective method of communicating with other support services both locally and nationally.

"Unfortunately, there are a few clients that work the charity systems to take advantage of the agencies for their personal gain," says David Davis, a St. Vincent de Paul volunteer in Florence, Alabama. "CharityTracker helps to identify the problems and makes notification to other organizations happen easily and in a very timely manner."

CharityTracker was designed to enable charitable organizations to communicate both locally and nationally in order to share resources, stay informed, identify potential fraud, and conserve valuable time and energy.

"Everything about the system is based on ease of use," adds Davis. "The CharityTracker system, with its on-screen alphabetical indexing of the many services, makes locating and contacting other charitable organizations extremely easy. Additionally, the forum is a delight. When there is a concern, we simply post a question or suggestion and the employees at Simon Solutions get it corrected or answered immediately. As a new member in our community assistance program, I find one of the nicest parts of CharityTracker are the terrific people I meet in the support agencies and the clients we have the privilege of serving."

Any verifiable 501c3 organization, agency, or religious organization with a benevolence program can purchase CharityTracker, which operates as a secure online network that organizations subscribe to and utilize over the Internet. There is no software to download, making this the perfect application for sharing information over multiple organizations and locations.

"We've witnessed the important role that Internet technology can play in the nonprofit community, and have seen that it can provide incredibly valuable ways for individuals and charitable organizations to work together for a greater good," says Mike Simon, President of Simon Solutions. "Our goal is to serve those who are in the business of helping others, and provide them with technology applications that embody community and allow them to have greater impact."

With an aspiration to help organizations translate their visions into action, the company has developed three core solutions that they hope will stretch the boundaries of how churches, ministries, and nonprofits share community: Oikos™, a revolutionary secure online community platform; CharityTracker™, a collaborative network to track charitable assistance; and PrayerPipeline.net™, a transformative 24/7 online prayer network.
