On September 13, 2013 I will be facilitating a meeting revewing Wild Apricot.   Here is a quick overview of the event, 

Do the following features interest your nonprofit?

• An easy solution to run your website, something everyone in your organization can update.

Wild Apricot might be the answer.

Wild Apricot is web-based software for small associations and non-profits to help manage membership, website, events and other activities. It is "cloud" software, meaning it runs through a web browser without needing to install anything on your local computer. It is built for small organizations, under 5000 members.

Another CRM tool for Nonprofits

Here is a quick article contributed by Nicolas Ganivet of cividesk, http://www.cividesk.com.

Managing your non-profit organization with CiviCRM

CiviCRM is a web-based, open source, CRM software geared toward meeting the needs of non-profit and other civic-sector organizations. It is used throughout the world by thousands of non-profits, some very large such as Amnesty International, Doctors without Borders or the New-York State Senate, but mostly smaller organizations with minimal staff and financial means. As open source software, CiviCRM is free to download and use without any software licensing costs.

CiviCRM covers the full spectrum of non-profit administration including contact, staff and volunteer management, fundraising, event management, membership management, email marketing, reporting, case management, surveys and petitions, etc. As a web-based software, it provides online forms for donations, event registration and membership sign-up including online payments. CiviCRM can be fully integrated within your existing Drupal, WordPress or Joomla website for a seamless user experience.

Whatever the size and purpose of your organization, you ought to consider CiviCRM in order to gain efficiencies in your day-to-day operations, develop deeper and more meaningful interactions with your constituents, and ultimately increase the impact of your organization.

You can gain more insight into CiviCRM and how it would fit with your organization by attending a 2 hour overview session delivered in Denver on August 21 (registration at http://www.t4tcolorado.org/calendar/event/1755). Ample time will be available during this session for answering your questions and sharing experiences.

We look forward to seeing you there.

It is "cloud" software, meaning it runs through a web browser without needing to install anything on your local computer.   It is built for small organizations, under 5000 members.   Wild Apricot has come out with a great article on how to build a better membership application.  These tips are applicable weather you use Wild Apricot or not.

Wild Apricot can help your association or nonprofit

Over the past year and a half I have completed about a dozen Wild Apricot system implementations.   The leading factors in this have been, 

1) Cost, with a free version that converts to easy to estimate levels of service payable on a monthly basis.  The cost is at the lower end of the spectrum of this model.

2) Ease of use, As a software as a service model, (SaaS) Wild Apricot does not require technical training or support to keep the system running.   Software updates and patches are applied automatically, the system is backed up and uptime managed by the provider.

3) Integration, Wild Apricot includes membership management, website front end, donation management, mass email function, event management,  and more.  All of these features in one place makes a very capable and efficient system.

4) Excellent training and support resources, Wild Apricot provides on the page help resources, video training, webinar training, and a support call in line.  This is by far the most attractive feature of Wild Apricot.  

5) Multi administrator functionality, With the ability to delegate administration functions, Wild Apricot is a great fit for non-profit / volunteer environments.   You can delegate event management, website updates, member management, all without allowing full system access.
