Case Study: Charitable Impact reclaims time and gains real-time budget visibility with Procurify

How Charitable Impact Got the Gift of Time with Procurify’s Purchasing System

Charitable Impact is a Vancouver-based donor-advised foundation that helps Canadians manage charitable giving and has supported over $660M in donations to 9,000+ charities. As the ~60-person organization grew, Controller Alicia Williams found paper-based processes, emailed requests, and spreadsheet budgeting created no audit trail, slow month-end closes, and reactive budgeting—so they needed an intuitive, scalable spend management system with transparent approval workflows and 3‑way matching.

Charitable Impact implemented Procurify to automate purchasing approvals, expense reporting, and vendor tracking, improving real-time budget visibility and supporting fast-moving teams like marketing and event operations. The change cut purchase cycle times to under 5 hours, achieved a 93% approval rate for submitted requests, enabled daily QuickBooks and Slack integrations, and returned meaningful time to staff for higher-value work.
