Our correspondents from the nonprofit sector tell us that most Americans are unaware of the dramatic impact that nonprofits have on the American economy. They say big “for-profit” business gets all the attention and economic acclaim while nonprofits are relegated to the insignificant “do-gooder” class of amateur “not for profits”.  This misperception has a deleterious effect on nonprofit’s ability to attract professional management and career orientated college graduates. Our correspondents tell us that our recent overview of the nonprofit sector failed to highlight nonprofit’s vast economic impact on the American economy. Let’s remedy that.

In the realm of human services, social workers are the unsung heroes, tirelessly dedicated to improving the lives of vulnerable children and families, working with homeless populations to help rebuild their life's, serving our veterans, working with seniors and helping juveniles and adults navigate the justice system. However, the demanding nature of their work can take a toll, leading to stress and burnout.

The good news is that technology is here to help. In this blog, we'll explore how technology plays a vital role in addressing the challenge of social workers’ burnout, especially among those in the foster care sector.

Mass murders with military grade weapons have been on the rise in recent years and kept these sensational killings front and center on all media outlets. Most of these atrocities were committed by troubled youth and have left us with the impression that juvenile violent crime is dramatically on the rise.

Human services organizations are undoubtedly one of the most critical drivers of our society.

Their vision and mission are directed toward improving people’s lives by providing prompt and proper case assistance. They also cater to a diverse range of clients from various backgrounds, ethnicities, unique case complications, and legal requirements. And therefore, it’s important that human services organizations should look into investing in configurable and customized case management solutions to improve their operations.

For a better understand of the difference between configurable and customized, we have your covered with our FAMCare Q & A.  In this blog, we’ve highlighted a few solid reasons you may consider these options in a case management solution for your organization.

Nonprofits have long been active in providing support for children ravaged by poverty, hunger, and disease in third world countries across the world. But working mothers and parents on the poverty line in America have flown under the radar and toiled in the shadows relying on Federal assistance that is woefully inadequate. Marginalized parents in the United States need to work two jobs to afford the paid childcare required to raise their children. But childcare is more expensive than ever, and the federal government can’t do enough to support families, especially working mothers. Now more than ever, families bear the brunt of the economic burden. This domestic crisis is every bit as urgent in our country as in third world countries. The children are our future; to nurture them and our potential as a country, we need to address the nationwide crisis underlying childcare.

In American child welfare and foster care, the overarching goal is clear: to build stronger families and provide children with safe, nurturing environments where they can thrive.

Achieving this goal requires a multifaceted approach, and case management software is playing a pivotal role in enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of these critical services in the United States.

Since our original reporting on the tidal wave of elderly that the baby boom generation represents, we have continued to update our report on the care burden that sits squarely on the shoulders of Gens X, Y, Z, and the Millennials. America is an aging nation. By 2029, 71 million baby boomers will have reached retirement age. Being an aging nation also means becoming a nation of caregivers. Providing this care is a monumental endeavor, one for which American society is ill prepared. Already, around 42 million Americans are providing informal support to someone 50 or older, and many of them are struggling under the financial and psychological pressure. That number will only grow as the nation ages.

With over ten million nonprofits on a mission to create a positive impact in their communities globally, and every resource they invest needs to count. When it comes to non-profit case management software, the key question arises: Does it yield a return on investment (ROI)?

Let's explore the benefits that far exceed the ROI for non-profit software solutions in human service agencies that take the leap.

In an era marked by digital transformation, social service agencies are recognizing the immense potential of cloud-based case management software. This technology offers a host of advantages, from streamlining operations to improving data security. 

However, successful implementation requires careful planning and adherence to best practices. In this blog, we'll explore the strategies for social services to adopt cloud-based case management solutions effectively.
