The Challenge
UWGK is unlike most other United Ways. In addition to grantmaking for other nonprofits, UWGK took on a modern model that also includes program development and direct service delivery. The organization worked in many disparate systems and did not have a standard way of managing projects and operations. While they were using ClickUp in certain departments, they weren’t using it consistently and to its fullest potential. They hired Tuck to build out the workflows in ClickUp for their grant making, data collection, and marketing use cases.
