Social Impact Project for Development of an Internal Platform for Funding Opportunities

How This Works

As part of the TRANSFORM Support Hub, you will learn how to advance your career while getting hands on experience on projects like this one.

Project Description and Impact

Securing consistent funding and support is vital for Sistech's operations and growth. The current process of identifying and tracking open grants, fundraising opportunities, and volunteering offers is manual, time-consuming, and prone to oversight. This inefficiency can lead to missed opportunities and hinders our capacity to plan and execute projects effectively. An internal tool that automates the aggregation of these opportunities would streamline our efforts, ensuring that we capitalize on all available resources to further our mission.

Addressing these challenges will enable Sistech to operate more strategically and effectively in supporting refugee women across Europe.
