NGO Software Views for Trustees and Programme Staff

A trust has a board, a donor desk, programme staff at centres and an accounts person. Each one works from a different slice of the same records.

Roles a trust usually sets up

These are the roles most trusts begin with, and they can be split further.

Trustees and the managing committee

Donations by fund head, spend by programme, grant balances, beneficiary counts and the papers of the last meeting. Mostly totals, not names.

Fundraising and donor desk

Donor records, appeal response lists, lapsed givers, pledges awaited, and the receipt screen for money arriving today.

Programme head

Their own programmes, with targets against work done, centre activity, beneficiary enrolment, grant deliverables and the report dates coming up.

Field staff at a centre

One centre and one programme. Beneficiary enrolment, attendance, material received and issued, and the volunteers on duty this week.

Accounts person

Receipts issued, fund head balances, payments and advances, grant budget lines, and the listings the auditor will ask for.

What one role does not see

Field staff at a tuition centre have no reason to open donor giving history, and a fundraiser has no reason to read a patient’s record at a health camp. Each login is kept to the records that role works on. Beneficiary names are often shown to programme staff and withheld from trustees, who read counts instead. The trust chooses where each of those lines falls.

Logins beyond the core staff

Volunteer logins

A roster view and the hours recorded for that person. Nothing about donors, money or other volunteers.

Drive and camp logins

A volunteer collecting at a stall can be given a login that only enters donations into the series kept for that drive.

Auditor access

A read-only login over receipts, payments, vouchers and grant records for the period under review.

What the trust decides

Who gets which login is settled with the trust while the system is being set up, and it can be changed afterwards. GullySystem does not decide who in a trust may read what.

  • Whether trustees see beneficiary names or only counts
  • Whether a programme head may open another programme’s records
  • Who may export donor or beneficiary lists
  • Whether volunteers and auditors get logins at all
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can one person hold two roles?

Yes. A small trust often has one person on donor records and accounts, and both sets of screens open under the same login.

Is a centre worker limited to their own centre?

Usually. Most trusts set field staff to one centre, and the programme head reads across all of them.

Do trustees need to learn the whole system?

No. A trustee login opens on summaries and board papers, and a trustee who wants more detail can be given it.

Can access be changed later?

Yes. Role changes are made by GullySystem staff when the trust asks, including a new role for a new programme.
