Our take
Small charities are often best placed to deliver key services. They are embedded in and trusted by their communities. But, due to their lack of funding, they are massively overworked. This means they don't have time to measure and show the difference they make to society - something which is crucial for encouraging benefactors to keep giving.
Plinth's services seek to address this problem. It has created a platform to encourage collaboration between small charities, their users and the organisations that fund them. Plinth provides live reports which track the effectiveness of service delivery based on beneficiaries’ simple demographic data. As data is live updated, a charity can analyse the insights at any time, restoring a sense of control over service delivery. By seeing how they are working, charities are able to make better strategic decisions, making them more effective on the ground and their efforts more visible for benefactors.
If Plinth can demonstrate the impact of small charities, the Government and other funding sources will recognise its value more - helping to further its positive impact on society. In a field where major players like Oxfam can easily stifle small charities, this ability to create exposure could prove vital for that market. Plinth must deliver its promises of better-run and better-exposed charities to grow its impact, both for those charities it helps and society as a whole.

Company values
- Plinth puts charities first. Even if they're not the ones paying for our platform, providing them with value is the key to everything Plinth does.
- Plinth does things very quickly. The time between having a good idea and making it a reality is often less than a week. Plinth is not a big company, so there are no hoops to jump through and no one you need to get permission from.
- Plinth is very open. It makes big decisions and plans in all-team discussions. You can be involved in anything at any level that takes your interest.
- Plinth is constantly learning. It does things that no one has done before in a sector that is more traditional than most — it has to try things out and discover them for itself. And once Plinth has figured out how best to do something, it turns that into software and moves on to the next thing — there's no chance to get comfortable.
- Plinth prefers childish enthusiasm to professional cynicism. It shares new things it's tried, fun things it's built or things it's written with childish pride and excitement because it genuinely enjoys what it does.
