Database Software For Foster Grandparent and Senior Companion Programs

, Inc.

Roughly 15 years ago, I quit my job as a computer person. In the course of finding another job, I took on various one-time and contract  projects. I never found another job, but I struck up a friendship with people at the local United Way. The Foster Grandparent and Senior Companion programs there contracted with me to make them a software program to help them track various things, such as a database of volunteers, the places they volunteered at, the hours they put in and other relevant items. They liked it, and told me “you ought to market this!” The LeapingWare software has grown to be a full-time project, although I still work with and maintain software created for various other non-profit organizations.

Originally called VolTrax, the name of the software for Foster Grandparent and Senior Companion Programs has been changed to LeapingWare. This is due to a possible trademark infringement with a software package called Voltrack. The name and type of business also have been changed from “DBA LeapingWare” to “LeapingWare, Inc.” (personal business to corporation). The FGP and SCP software programs are now LeapingWare For FGP and LeapingWare For SCP. What the software is and does remains the same.

The reason behind the name is a long story, and is explained in the “Fun & Games” section of the web site.
