We feel there are too many obstacles facing not-for-profits (NFPs) considering commercial CRM offerings, including many of those that are charity oriented. From licensing models which restrict the fluid expansion of an organisation's user base (why should you be punished with higher costs for being successful?), to support from commercial companies being inherently tied to one supplier; a NFP would benefit from the option to 'shop around' for those most appropriate, e.g. based on: proximity and availability on-site, cost, experience, value added services... They also often lack the capacity for charity relevant workflows, necessitating either customisations, complicated and inefficient workarounds or an en-masse call for new functionality, as individual charities do not appear to carry the weight required to influence subtle NFP-only changes to market leading software, without large expense.

On the flip side, CiviCRM is completely free and open-source, carrying with it a friendly, hard-working and enthusiastic community of developers and implementers, constantly listening to the users' needs and sculpting future releases to the requirements of NFP organisations. This is exciting!

Worked with CiviCRM as core team developer for more than 2 years. Now we are working as a team and providing service with CiviCRM installation, customization and training. One thing about CiviCRM community is that it's very healthy and really helpful. It's really great that i am part of this community and we want to grow this more and more . Also whatever the problems we are facing there is a solution on forums, or we will get the proper guidelines to solve the issues. Big salute to the CiviCRMcommunity :)

We are currently migrating to civiCRM. We will be using civiCRM for back office to record contributions, manage donor communication and report on contributions received.

CiviCRM is perfect for us because it is based on contributions

Circle Interactive

http://www.civisites.com

We help many not for profits implement CiviCRM through consultancy, training, configuration and custom development. Many of them come from a painful world of old Access databases, multiple spreadsheets and even paper. It's really satisfying to
help people move on with a system that's so much in tune with their own ethics of sharing and collaboration. We also 'eat our own dog food' and use Civi in-house for our client records because we love the flexibility and control it gives us.

For us it's important to share code and advice with other members of the community when we can because we know we get it back in help at other times. The community really is awesome and one of the friendliest and undaunting I've come across. We appreciate the huge value of the software to us and our clients so we try to contribute back and make it even better.

City Bible Forum

City Bible Forum is an Australian not-for-profit Christian organisation. We need to communicate effectively with our constituents, and CiviCRM gives us a comprehensive set of tools for managing relationships. Interestingly, we often find that new features are being added just as our need for those features is becoming apparent. It's the right fit for us.

Webforms for CiviCRM 4.1

Submitted by colemanw on February 21, 2012 - 10:13

If you've recently upgraded to CiviCRM 4.1, you'll need to upgrade your webform_civicrm as well. Versions 2.3 and below are not fully compatible with Civi 4.1. Version 2.4 is, and will be released in the next couple of days, especially if I get a few comments on this post from people who have sucessfully tested it! The latest -dev is stable and working, so please feel free to download it and try it out on your 4.1 site!

Note: webform_civicrm 2.4 is not backwards-compatible with older versions of CiviCRM, and should only be used with 4.1.x

New Features In webform_civicrm 2.4

  • Adds contact image and language pref fields
  • More options for matching/updating existing activities
  • Support for new multi-valued contact sub-type
  • Improved group and tag fields
  • Can include the entire webform submission in the activity details, as well as an edit link
  • Can generate a contact checksum for use in webform-generated emails
  • Supports cid1=0 in URL, so the "not you" link no longer logs you out
  • Support custom data for cases

This version also has some behind-the-scenes enhancements to improve efficiency, compatibility, and pave the way for future improvements. As always, Drupal 6 and 7 are both supported :)

Congratulations on getting a 4.1 compatible version of this excellent module out the door so soon after 4.1 became stable. And thanks for continuing to make useful enhancements!

Great new features

Thanks Colemanw for continuing to extend and upgrade this module. I am now using the dev version on my site and it seems to be working fine.

The ability to have multiple tags on a form and also to put the whole submission in the activity details are really very helpful.

This is a great module and it is nice to have it working before we have even gotten around to the 4.1 upgrade.
