Case Study: Farmers Conservation Alliance streamlines complex contract management with Percolator Consulting

Farmers Conservation Alliance streamlines 50+ irrigation community contracts with Percolator Consulting

Farmers Conservation Alliance (FCA), a nonprofit working to modernize water delivery systems in the American West, faced a significant challenge in managing its complex web of federal and private funding contracts as it rapidly scaled its operations. Their reliance on sophisticated spreadsheets was becoming administratively unsustainable and made tracking projects and anticipating resource issues nearly impossible. FCA engaged Percolator Consulting to help organize this complicated flow using their existing Salesforce system.

Percolator Consulting performed a discovery process and then enhanced FCA's Salesforce, building on the Nonprofit Success Pack to track complex contracts from negotiation through execution. The solution provided FCA with a centralized system to efficiently manage contracts, automate reporting requirements, and easily reconcile data, saving time and reducing risk. The immediate result was a "night and day" improvement in information access for the contracts team, creating a clear picture of funding relationships and laying the groundwork for future phases to manage project proposals and benefits.
