Cheltenham-based AK Consultancies has announced four new clients. The Solicitors
Benevolent Association, The Edward Storey Foundation, The Burma Star Association
and the Lambeth Endowed Charities will all use the company’s Beneficiaries „¢ Database
to maintain and administer their grantmaking processes.
Beneficiaries is now being
used by 30 national charities, 20 of them being Association of Charity Officers 
Members. Established in 1997, the database is used to administer and process the
applications and payments of a grantmaking organisation.

Hospitality Action has also joined AK Consultancies’ client list, and will be using
their new Fusion„¢ Database. Launched at the end of 2006, Fusion combines the data
held in both the Beneficiaries „¢ and Fundraiser„¢ Databases, whilst retaining the
functionality of the individual databases.

It thereby enables an organisation to share the data that they collate about donors,
beneficiaries, members and contacts in one central area.
