Will our functionality ever be limited if we cannot donate to Meet The Need?
No, we are a ministry organized as a 501(c)3 Public Charity, not a business. Our heart is to see God glorified and more help and hope brought to struggling families. Bringing together churches and charities to meet the needs of local ministries, families and missionaries in Jesus’ name requires a no-cost solution. We do not want any organizations to be precluded from using MTN due to lack of funding. Therefore we will not restrict access to MTN depending on your ability to donate.

How quickly can my organization be up and running on MTN?
Actual time required to implement on your part is typically 1 hour or less.
How does MTN work from a technical standpoint?
With MTN, there is no software to load. MTN operates within a church’s or charity’s web site via links that are simply attached to buttons (e.g. saying “Volunteer Now” or “Most Needed Items”). Each link is customized to display only the needs that the organization wants to show on that particular button (e.g. the needs of a particular internal or external organization). You can create a template to match your web site so that all pages showing needs will look like you, not MTN. The organization can set up its web site however it would like – showing whatever needs it wants to wherever it wants to. Users simply click on the buttons to see details about each need and register to sign up. MTN powers those buttons and provides administrator with all of our management and communication software. We provide training videos for every module of our software so you can quickly learn how to use each system at your convenience.
Do we need to get our IT staff involved in implementing MTN?
No, MTN is an Application Service Provider (ASP) so we host and manage the system. In keeping with the idea of taking work off the church staff, the set-up of MTN is almost entirely done by MTN and involves no IT work on your part. The implementation process entails very little work for the organization’s staff. Within 10 minutes, your organization can be registered and have access to the full suite of MTN’s software for managing and communication all of your charitable activities.
Does MTN run on our (church’s/charity’s) servers?
No, MTN is essentially an Application Service Provider (ASP), meaning it runs on our servers, not yours. In keeping with our philosophy of taking all the work off of your staff, MTN has already done the “heavy lifting” – there is no need for your IT person to get involved.
Can groups sign up to meet needs?
Many people would rather serve in teams than individually so we allow volunteers to sign up as groups. Group leaders have a number of options for forming their groups:
- Enter in the names and email addresses of each individual
- Invite each individual to sign up themselves as part of the group
- Register the entire group under their name
Group leaders are asked to indicate whether they are signing up a Family, Church, School, or Company group. The system automatically remembers each leader’s prior groups so that the next time they sign up to meet a need consisting of more than one person, they will be asked whether they are bringing one of their previous groups. They can then edit the group members.
How are internal department “teams” set up?
Teams are set up by an administrator on the Team section of the Dashboard. Team leaders are asked to “join” that team and the administrator designates that individual as the team’s Key Contact. The next time the team leader logs in to MTN on the organization’s web site, they will see that they now have access to the team’s Dashboard to post needs, see who’s meeting each need, etc.
