Darlston

Darlston have been successfully delivering projects for charities and the UK government for over 12 years. We are building the future of integrated charity software by unifying your fundraising, finance systems, spreadsheets, and software into one powerful application on Salesforce. We specialise in ensuring your financial data meets your charity’s financial compliance and SoRP obligations. For us, technology comes second to understanding what your goals are and, crucially, how you measure success. Following this, the charities we work with ask us to support them to better manage and improve any of the following areas- Income - Expenditure - Programmes and Charitable Activities - Impact Income: Automatically record transactions from various sources (Stripe, GoCardless, PayPal, etc.). Reconcile income with payouts for accuracy. Manage grants through pipelines. Relate income to supporters, programmes, campaigns, and funds. Segment supporters for tailored communications. Expenditure: Manage in the same system as income. For fundraising: relate to income streams to aid decision making. For charitable activities: link income, expenditure, and assets to programmes, funds, and initiatives. Generate budgets, forecasts, and SoRP-compliant reports in real-time. Programmes and Charitable Activities: Manage beneficiary activities and cause delivery and relate these to income and expenditure as it’s all managed in the same system. Examples include project management, case-driven support, inventory management, event delivery, and any bespoke requirement. Impact: Provide real-time feedback on impact to stakeholders. Record metrics continuously across the organisation. Examples: support hours, acres saved, campaigners trained, books distributed, campaign engagement, partner fund usage, research outputs, and beneficiary feedback. Relate metrics to grants, donations, campaigns, events, programmes, and expenditure to demonstrate direct impact to funders.
