When is a meal more than a meal? When it’s served in a soup kitchen. Most soup kitchens serve double, triple, even quadruple duty as a community center, health center, temporary shelter, and a place to get job services. That’s the complicated part of social change - complicated problems call for complicated solutions, even when our business models force us to focus on one simple arena.

Imagine if the soup kitchen knew what other services each client was receiving? And what holes in service they could recommend? If these organizations shared data, they could improve services and have a much clearer understanding of their impact.

Starting in 2011, a group of Nonprofit Technology Assistance Provider (NTAP) organizations worked together, applying this concept, to learn about our impact and discover opportunities for increasing impact and support for the nonprofit sector.
