Challenges

As a grant-making foundation operating multiple program areas, an extensive partner network, and a mandate for the highest standards of governance, Al Rajhi Foundation needed a financial and operational system built to support transparency and accountability at scale.

Financial records for grants, programs, and institutional spending were not fully connected, making it harder to report on fund allocation with the transparency its governance standards require.
Procurement for programs and operations across multiple project areas relied on manual processes, adding time to secure and track approvals.
Revenue from institutional products and publications was not clearly connected to the Foundation’s broader financial records.
Fixed assets across the Foundation’s facilities and program sites lacked a structured system for tracking and valuation.
A growing team supporting an expanding portfolio of grants and initiatives needed a centralized system for HR management.
The Foundation’s non-profit structure, including funds, donors, beneficiaries, and program-based accounting, required functionality beyond a standard commercial setup.

Benefits

Data Value Solutions implemented ERPNext across accounting, purchasing, sales, fixed assets, and HR, with a dedicated Non-Profit Management customization, giving Al Rajhi Foundation a connected system built around how a grant-making institution actually operates.

Financial records now reflect the Foundation’s program and fund structure directly, supporting the transparency expected by its governance and accreditation standards.
Purchasing for programs and institutional operations is now managed through a structured system, speeding up approvals and improving visibility over spending.
Revenue from institutional products and publications is now tracked within the same financial system as the Foundation’s broader operations.
Fixed assets across the Foundation’s facilities and program sites are recorded in a structured register with depreciation tracked automatically.
HR processes for a growing team are now centralized, supporting the Foundation’s expanding portfolio of programs and initiatives.
The Non-Profit Management customization adapts core ERPNext workflows to reflect how the Foundation manages funds, programs, and grants, rather than forcing a commercial structure onto non-profit operations.
