**Charities Trust has announced that it is now using the Appian Platform to help
it manage the £100 million in donations it handles each year.**

[Charities Trust](https://charitiestrust.org/) supports more than 1,000 corporations
and their employees worldwide by managing their giving, and will now use [Appian](https://www.appian.com/)’
s cloud-based low-code business management platform to manage and distribute their
donations. Low-code technology helps users develop applications faster and more 
easily, requiring minimal hand coding.

Its first Appian application, Charity Portal, has helped Charities Trust to streamline
on-boarding and lifetime relationship management for the charities it works with
by improving visibility and responsiveness, and also providing Charities Trust with
more centralised, auditable, and sustainable processes. The application also unites
users, data, and processes through simple interfaces on web and mobile devices to
help speed up decision-making and action.
