WE MATCHED IMPACT PLATFORM MAANCH WITH data analyst, SALLY, TO help research and build THEIR CORONAVIRUS RESPONSE DATABASE.

Maanch aim to change the way millions of people engage with charitable giving, matching changemakers with opportunities to fund projects accelerating achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

In response to the Covid-19 pandemic Maanch launched a Coronavirus Global Response Dashboard, mapping and visualising all available projects to tackle the pandemic outbreak. They also established the ‘Coronavirus Response Fund’ to support local and global unfunded projects being undertaken by verified organisations.

The Maanch team was looking for support researching and identifying projects helping to combat the effects and impact of coronavirus, and in need of support. This research would form the base for the online dashboard, mapping the global response to coronavirus.

We matched them with Sally Morris, an experienced data analyst, who spent 4 months helping Maanch research and scope projects, gaining experience that has since contributed to the launch of her own business, Realisys, a management consulting and technology company working in the public sector to make social and economic impact in UK.

“My experience with Maanch has been amazing. I have learnt loads of things in the philanthropy sphere. Who philanthropists are, how they donate, and what they look for in a project. This helped me kick start my first social impact project funding. Darshita, the CEO, is very friendly and accommodating. She did not put pressure on me. I like what I am doing for Maanch as through it I can benefit someone financially for a social cause and I can learn more about philanthropy, humanitarism, and social impact.”
