Your CRM can and should belong to you: an introduction to CiviCRM

Description

An introduction to CiviCRM

Do you use technology to help you manage your relationships with your constituency (bulk and targeted mailings, donations, memberships, event registration)? Who owns that technology? Are you sure their interests align with yours? What are the consequences of that difference, where they are making decisions based on their financial position, and you're making decisions for a social purpose?

It’s time for you to consider CiviCRM, an open source constituent relationship management system for nonprofits, NGOs, and advocacy organizations.

With CiviCRM you can:

1. Share the code that runs your CRM with other non-profits

2. Own your data and your processes (including where your database is hosted and who has access).

3. Use a single integrated tool to see the big picture of all your constituent interactions with your nonprofit.

And being open source, there are no license fees and the price you pay reflects its real costs (and that can save you a lot of your budget!).
