Helping Communities Work Together Since 2006

In 2005, Hurricane Katrina devastated communities along the Gulf Coast. Hundreds of displaced families arrived in Florence, Alabama, seeking help and hope.

Churches, nonprofits, and caring neighbors responded with generosity. But as organizations worked to meet urgent needs, a major challenge became clear: everyone wanted to help, but they weren't connected.

Some families received duplicate assistance, while others struggled to get the help they needed. Community leaders recognized that there had to be a better way.

The problem wasn't a lack of compassion. It was a lack of connection.

In 2006, community leaders in Northwest Alabama partnered with Simon Solutions to create a better way for helping organizations to work together.

The result was S.E.A.N.Tracker, the original version of CharityTracker.

For the first time, participating organizations could securely share information, coordinate assistance, reduce duplication, and respond to needs more effectively.

What began as a local solution would eventually grow into a nationwide movement for connected community care.

By 2007, word was spreading. Communities across Alabama were discovering how connected technology could help churches, nonprofits, and other organizations work together more effectively.

What started in Northwest Alabama quickly expanded throughout the state. Today, CharityTracker connects care networks across the country, helping communities coordinate resources, strengthen relationships, and create greater impact.

CharityTracker grew from Alabama into a nationwide movement connecting communities for greater impact.

What began as a local solution has grown into a nationwide network of caregivers working together to make a difference.
