For funders, agencies & networks
The tool your funded sites will actually use
You can fund a reporting tool. Getting volunteers to open it is the hard part. Boswell wins the adoption, so you get clean data from every site you fund.
State agency, county settlement office, coalition, or foundation: if you fund a lot of small orgs, this is for you.
You can fund a tool. You can't make them use it.
Settlement dollars and grant budgets can pay for reporting software. Adoption is the part money can't buy. The heavier platforms are built for larger, staffed operations, not a volunteer-run pantry or a syringe program. When a mandated tool doesn't fit the work, it quietly goes unused, and a tool nobody opens is worse than none: your portfolio data ends up full of holes you can't see.
Built for the volunteer, not the IT department
Here's why volunteers actually stick with it:
5–10 min
for a volunteer to learn it
Under 30 sec
to check in a returning client
4 hrs → seconds
for a funder report, once the data's in
$30 / mo
per location, unlimited users
No RFP, no IT project, running the same afternoon. Every feature is included, with a 30-day free trial and no per-seat fees. Intake bends to whatever a site tracks: food, hygiene kits, clothing, financial aid, services.
Each grantee owns its data. You get the portfolio picture.
Every funded site owns its own client data, and Boswell never sells it. That ownership is why small orgs are willing to adopt it, and it keeps the data liability with them, not on your books.
You get aggregate, de-identified reporting across every site, with each grantee's consent: comparable service and demographic numbers, exportable to CSV or Excel. One thing matters for harm-reduction and health funders. Boswell tracks services and supplies distributed, not clinical or treatment records, so most deployments stay clear of 42 CFR Part 2. A security overview is available on request.
What Boswell is
Boswell is lightweight case-management and client-intake software for community-based organizations: fast intake, quick client lookup, service tracking, and funder-ready reporting. It does the simple, fast end of case management, and that focus is the reason volunteers use it.
Already working at scale
1.2M+
household assistances tracked by Boswell's live customers across community-based organizations.
Funding one shared tool across your grantees isn't a leap into the unknown. It's an established pattern, and we're ready to take on more sites.
Backed by the American Heart Association, MassChallenge, the National Science Foundation, Social Enterprise Greenhouse, and Village Capital.
“With Boswell, we can see instantly the number of clients, how many visits they make, and customize the information we need to see. We’ve been using it for over 18 months, and it literally takes 5 seconds to check in an existing client.”
“With Boswell we have been able to monitor and track guest activities, streamline our intake process, and refine our record keeping. We recommend their services highly and without reservation.”
Start with a pilot across a few of your sites
Start with 5–15 of your sites and run one full reporting cycle. Your grantees get hours back, and you get comparable cross-site numbers you can put in front of a board. The next step is a short conversation, not a grantee free trial.
