Addressing a Critical Need:
Millions of people struggle to find and access the social programs they qualify for. This can be due to a lack of awareness, difficulty navigating complex application processes, or challenges keeping track of necessary documents. The Findhelp-Kiip partnership aims to eliminate these pain points by:
- Connecting people with resources: Findhelp’s extensive network of programs ensures individuals can find the assistance they need.
- Empowering individuals: Kiip’s tools simplify the application process and provide transparency, putting individuals in control of their social service needs.
- Supporting service providers: Kiip’s platform streamlines workflows for CBOs, allowing them to deliver more efficient and effective services.
Combining Findhelp’s robust platform with Kiip’s user-centric approach, the acquisition aims to streamline the process of finding and applying for critical benefits and services. Kiip’s free document storage and application transparency tools empower individuals to navigate the social care system more easily. This eliminates the hassle of finding and retaining important documents, a major barrier for many. Kiip’s two-sided platform simplifies workflows for Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) that assist individuals in need. This reduces administrative burdens and allows CBO staff to focus on delivering vital services.
“At Findhelp, our goal has always been to simplify the complicated process of getting help. We have built the nation’s largest and most active network of programs, serving leading health systems, state, local governments, and community-based organizations throughout the country. The Kiip team understands how important a good user experience is in the social sector, and have built innovative technology that complements Findhelp’s mission and product suite. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know Noah and the team and I know they’ll be a valuable part of our future.”
