Joining forces with The Fore to show the impact of non-profits

Venture philanthropy fund The Fore teamed up with Pro Bono Economics on a project to help them measure the collective and individual impact of the non-profits they fund. Working on a pro bono basis, Opencast helped to develop a bespoke data collection survey. Our collaboration successfully delivered a fully functional, cost-effective and GDPR-compliant survey platform in just six weeks.

Improving support for military veterans and their families

The Office for Veterans Affairs (OVA) partnered with Opencast in 2024 to make it easier for veterans and their families to find the right support online. Veterans often faced an overwhelming mix of services from government, armed forces networks, charities and other providers. The project streamlined information into a single, accessible place and explored ways for OVA to connect veterans directly with services. The result was a new Finder tool and support guidance, launched on GOV.UK in September 2024, giving veterans a faster, clearer route to the help they need.
