Charity Check

What Charity Check does

Charity Check Inc. is a privately held software company founded in 1997 and headquartered in Elizabethton, Tennessee, that provides a web-based client management and networking platform for churches, faith-based organizations, food pantries, and nonprofit social service agencies. The core product is a modular system offering client data entry, household member linking, client photo capture, signature form capture, and over 30 pre-built reports covering demographics, assistance data, family information, and program outcomes. A distinctive feature is the optional Full Networking capability, which allows participating organizations to share client data to avoid duplicate assistance, alongside configurable privacy tiers (Private Categories, Full Confidential, Confidential Group) that let agencies control how much information is exposed.

The platform is monetized through annual subscriptions on three published tiers — Basic Church ($10/month), Premium/Nonprofit ($15/month), and Full Private ($20/month) — plus approximately 20 add-on modules priced by custom quote, including Income/Expense Tracking, Housing Status Tracking, Volunteer Tracking, Appointment Scheduler, Donor Tracker, ID Card Creation, Document Storage, Goals & Outcomes Custom Tracking, Custom Data Tracking, Food Pantry Points System, Signature Form Capture, Group Administration, and Referral modules. A specialized Bridges Communities Module supports the Bridges Out of Poverty and Getting Ahead methodology, tracking Stability Scale Indicators, Self Assessment data, and quantitative outcomes for grant reporting. The company distributes exclusively through its own website with a consultative sales motion featuring live demonstrations, scheduled webinars, and word-of-mouth referrals within the nonprofit community. The company has no disclosed funding, no mobile app, no public APIs, no social media presence, and no listed management team, indicating a small, bootstrapped operation with 1-10 employees.

Direct peers

• CharityTracker: CharityTracker is the closest direct competitor — a web-based client management and networking platform for churches, food pantries, and social service agencies that uses a similar cross-agency networking model to prevent duplicate assistance, serving the exact same target customer segment as Charity Check.
• CaseWorthy: CaseWorthy provides case management software for nonprofits, social services, and human services agencies with configurable workflows and reporting. It serves the same functional use case as Charity Check but typically targets larger, more complex programs.
• Eccovia (ClientTrack): Eccovia's ClientTrack platform is a case management solution for health and human services agencies, including features for tracking client services, outcomes, and reporting — overlapping with Charity Check's use cases for case management and grant outcome reporting.
• Foothold Technology (MediSked): Foothold Technology, now part of MediSked, provides case management software for human services and social service agencies, serving nonprofit organizations with similar client-tracking and reporting needs to Charity Check's customer base.
• Penelope (Unicentric): Penelope is a case management platform purpose-built for nonprofits and human services organizations, offering client tracking, outcome measurement, and reporting features that directly overlap with Charity Check's pre-built reports and custom goals functionality.

Emerging players

• Bitrix24: Bitrix24 provides affordable CRM and collaboration tools that smaller nonprofits sometimes adopt as a low-cost alternative to dedicated case management platforms, competing with Charity Check on price-sensitive, volunteer-staffed segments.
• Giveffect: Giveffect is an all-in-one nonprofit management platform covering donor management, volunteer tracking, case management, and program outcomes — overlapping with several of Charity Check's modules and targeting similar small-to-mid nonprofit customers.

Broad incumbents

• Bonterra (Social Solutions): Bonterra (formerly Social Solutions) provides a broad suite of nonprofit and human services case management software including Apricot and ETO. It serves similar nonprofit and social service agency customers but targets mid-to-large organizations with enterprise-grade features Charity Check does not offer.
• Salesforce.org Nonprofit Cloud: Salesforce.org Nonprofit Cloud is the nonprofit-specific edition of Salesforce CRM, serving the same nonprofit and social service customer base as Charity Check but as part of a much broader CRM platform aimed at larger, better-funded organizations.

Others

• ServicePoint (ClientTrack legacy): ServicePoint-style case management tools are widely used in homeless management information systems (HMIS) and social service networks — overlapping with Charity Check's homelessness-status tracking module and its referral networking capabilities.
