A Message from our Lead Sponsor
At Advance Solutions, we believe that technology is one of the most powerful enablers of social good. As a ServiceNow Elite Partner, we’ve spent over 16 years helping mission-driven organisations modernise their operations, amplify their impact, and serve their communities more efficiently.
That’s why we’re proud to be the Lead Sponsor of the inaugural Charity IT Leaders Awards and the Tech for Good category. This event not only marks a milestone 25 years of CITL, but also celebrates the unsung heroes who power digital innovation across the non-profit and charity sector.
Our purpose-built Non-profit Service Management (NPSM) platform is designed to support this very mission - empowering non-profit teams with the tools they need to manage volunteers, donors, programs, and beneficiaries through a unified platform built on ServiceNow. We’ve seen first-hand how the right technology can streamline operations, boost transparency, and unlock new levels of impact.
We’re excited to stand alongside Charity IT Leaders and the broader community to recognise the changemakers - IT teams, digital leaders, and visionary projects - that are transforming lives through technology.
Innovation matters because people matter. And as we celebrate 25 years of CITL, we also look ahead - to a future where technology continues to drive positive change, foster equity, and bring communities closer to the support they need.
