For nonprofits and NGOs
Mently gives nonprofit and NGO teams one place to run mentorship programs, match participants with mentors, track progress, and report to funders.
Many nonprofit programs start with forms, spreadsheets, and group chats. That works until the program grows, a funder asks for evidence, or the one person who understands the tracker moves on. A mentorship platform for nonprofits keeps the program, its people, and its results in one place.
The same few staff handle recruitment, matching, follow-ups, and reporting, often alongside other programs.
Attendance lists show the program happened. Funders and boards increasingly ask what participants gained.
When records are spread across personal files and inboxes, a staff change can mean losing the program's history.

Reduce mentorship adminBuyer's guide
Look at your funder agreements and board updates first. A platform should capture the outcomes you already have to report on as part of running the program, so evidence does not depend on a separate data-collection effort.
Choose a tool your current team can run. Check how much of the routine work, such as reminders, onboarding, and reports, it handles, and how long it takes to set up a new cohort.
Volunteer mentors give their time for free, so the experience needs to be simple. Every extra form or login is another chance for a willing volunteer to drop out.
Program records should belong to the organisation, not to whoever built the spreadsheet. Shared records make handovers easier and help each cohort learn from the last.
Your next grant may mean more participants, a new location, or a new track. Look for a platform that can run several programs and cohorts without rebuilding everything. To see how Mently supports nonprofit programs end to end, visit Mently for nonprofits.
