CiviCRM provides a vital tool whereby nonprofits and other social projects can implement strong contact-relationship management capabilities without high monthly fees. It also provides the integration and customization capabilities necessary to make such software useful in the complex, lived reality of doing social engagement work. Plus it continues to build the open source toolset made available to the Commons and grow the common good.

The CiviCRM community is a very friendly and helpful community. Whatever the challenge, I always get enough help from the forum or IRC to nudge me in the right direction. For me joining in a CiviCRM sprint once or twice a year is the best, meeting other community members in real life, sharing successes, challenges, problems and meals :-) Seriously, I think the active community is one of the serious assets of CiviCRM and I am proud to be part of it! And when I grow up I promise to do more :-)

CiviCRM allows us to bring all benefits and capabilities of a large commercial CRM and
donor management system to medium and large non-profits at a fraction of the cost. CiviCRM also allows smaller non-profits to benefit from an integrated solution for donor management, events, bulk email, etc. substantially increasing their effectiveness as compared to managing a variety of nonintegrated software and spreadsheets. Thanks to a strong CiviCRM community, CiviCRM’s functionality continues to advance and CiviCRM’s market continues to grow rapidly.

Progressive Technology Project
CiviCRM is helping us serve member-based community organizing groups across the
U.S. to keep better track of their events, fundraising, and membership data. It's helping our community to aim higher in terms of what kind of questions they should be asking and what kind of data they should be collecting. We chose CiviCRM because it's the best all-around tool to do what our groups need, AND because it's open source.

Being part of the CiviCRM community is really something to shout about! Not only is CiviCRM an amazing software package, its designed for organisations that make a difference in the world. We help non-profits across the UK gain control of their data through the power of CiviCRM.
It is without a doubt the best piece of software I've ever worked with, and I'm constantly discovering cool new features. More recently I've been working on CiviMobile as part of a project for my course at University. I'm really looking forward to seeing this being used by organisations across the globe.

I've always been passionate about what non-profits and advocacy groups can achieve using technology. For me, CiviCRM shows an essential example of how non-profit and technology worlds can come together to provide real change - working as community, creating value for yourself, but also for others in non-profit sector.

amazing news! thanks a lot
amazing news! thanks a lot for your efforts.
Wordpress.com support?
Is there a way to make CiviCRM work right now with Wordpress.com? If it is not yet, I am eagerly waiting to hear when it will be integrated more than Wordpress.org?
Dont think so, dont expect it to happen anytime soon
Civi is a bit too involved to be deployed on wp.com and/or hosted on wp.org as a plugin.

CiviCRM and Word Press
Please clarify: Do you mean that there is NOT yet a version of CiviCRM that works with WordPress? Our organization plans to move to CiviCRM very soon, and also to begin using WordPress. Is there a good option for us? I'm really new at this and appreciate advice from people in the know.
4.1 has wordpress support ...
my comment was about hosting the plugin on wp.org/wp.com

Finally!
This would really be a match made in heaven. Vanilla forum has a great integration with WordPress, and CivicCRM would greatly benefit from an integrated state-of-the art blogging engine likewise.
Excellent news
This is excellent news. I have been using WordPress professionally and personally for many years, and have been dying to integrate our charity site with CiviCRM. This will be a 'killer' addon which would significantly expand the usage of both platforms.
Many will benefit from this future development
This is exactly what our non-profit society needs. Truly can not wait for this to be released. Thank you in advance.
Yes to CiviCRM Word Press integration
I am a non-techie administrator for both a WordPress CMS website and a CiviCRM database. This would be a great help.
Timeframe?
Any thoughts on how far out until this is a reality?
Needs funding before the schedule is set ..
the proposal has not attracted a lot of funding, so thats the main goal right now. We need to get more funders interested before we can decide on a timeline and resources. Would be great if you / your company can chip in and help out. Funding page is here:

Planning to integrate Wordpress and CiviCRM
I work for a green building non-profit currently using Drupal and CiviCRM. However, we are considering a transition over the CiviCRM for ease of use and design aesthetics. If needed, we'll have a fairly clumsy integration of CiviCRM and Wordpress (linking to current site with out of the box CiviCRM theme), but it would be a huge benefit for the users to integrate the two. The problem is that our timeline is short: we're planning to launch in a month. Can anyone tell me what the range of timelines could be for this project (shortest vs longest)?
Thanks,
Aaron
timeline is indertiminate ..
this project is based on the WP / CiviCRM community stepping up and funding it (or someone stepping up and developing and supporting it). As such i would say the most optimistic timeline is 4.1 (in august or so). the worst case scenario is sometime in the far future
I am going to reach out to
I am going to reach out to the Wordpress.org community in the forums and user groups, and try to identify some non-profits who use Wordpress already that are in need of a CRM. They might become donors.
wordpress forum
I posted something here on the wordpress forums. It may also be worthwhile to contact larger non profits who use Wordpress and ask them directly if they want to be involved.

CiviCRM and WordPress
We are a nonprofit and use Wordpress. Would very much like to use CiviCRM.....
WordPress version
I work with a variety of different non-profits that would benefit from this product (one directed me here) and might be willing to at least donate to help. I know the need is there.
CiviCRM and Wordpress
I'm working for a non-profit organization (which uses Wordpress) and we would benefit from a CiviCRM integration and also might be willing to donate/pay for this product. Thank you in advance.
Will it happen?
Now that the make it happen goal for WP integration has been met, will this integration move forward?
yes, this will be part of 4.1 ..
it will be fairly simple (probably a few manual steps) integration of WP and CiviCRM to begin with and will be part of CiviCRM v4.1 which is expected between Oct - Dec of this year

Using Joomla & CiviCRM—would love to switch over to WordPress
I work for a non-profit that has been using CiviCRM with Joomla since the end of 2009.
We have a few additional websites (microsites as well) that we run with Wordpress. I find WordPress simpler to roll out and get people up to speed using than Joomla. I would love to be able to switch completely over to WordPress, but need Joomla to run CiviCRM for us.
I would love to help / being involved with the testing of WordPress and CiviCRM if needed.
Thanks,
Jayson
Same Here!
Same Here!
Same here...
Count me in for #3... Non profit org with many Wordpress Satelite sites. We got so sick of Joomla we are now integrating a Wordpress site for our main site which is phenomenal. However in the meantime we are having to keep CIVICRM on it's own sub-domain through Drupal which is not ideal by any means. CIVICRM is incredible software, the world is ready for the Wordpress integration...
Forgot to mention we'd also
Forgot to mention we'd also be willing to help contribute resources to this project if needed...
Can you please elaborate on what type of resources ..
We'd love to get the communitys help to get this into 4.1. Can you please elaborate on what type of resources you can contribute or how you can help during the design / development / building stage?
Thanx

Help during design / dev / building stage
Hey Lobo,
I'm able to help in the design / dev / building stages. I am a designer. I can test stuff out, things like switching Civi over from Joomla to Wordpress, importing Contacts/Contributions and more. I'm not sure what is needed, but I'm willing to lend a hand.
Let me know how I can be helpful.

Need beta testers?
I'm happy to help beta test. I customize and develop WordPress and Salesforce for emerging nonprofits, but interested in learning more about CiviCRM.
Can you expand a bit more on ..
what type of integration is possible between wordpress and salesforce. I've seen the wordpress to lead plugin, is there anything else?
lobo
beta testers
I'm interested in beta testing this as well as I'd really like to add this to services I can provide to the organisations I currently help on their Wordpress sites.
Doesn't look like work has started
It's funded. But the task in Jira has no work attached. If the integration is truly going to happen by Novembers 4.1 release, someone better get moving. It was funded- and should be moving forward.
The link to Jira
http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-8354
Exciting News
Look forward to beta testing this for the non profit org i work for and potential help out with funding.
Wordpress integration?
So, where does this stand? Will wordpress integration be part of the November release?
Thanks everyone!
Best,
jW
I'm interested in the status
I'm interested in the status of this too. The update said it would roll out with 4.1, but I don't see it on the roadmap. Has there been a change of plans?
Yes, Status update please.
Yes, Status update please.
wp=+1
sign me up for some CIVI-WP integration. seems like this is behind schedule but please know we want it and appreciate any work being done to make it happen.
Buddypress interest is
Buddypress interest is growing rapidly. Including that integration in the first phase would make the civicrm plugin one of the most powerful the WP community has ever had.
experienced wp developer able to help
I am an experienced wordpress developer and I have time and resources to put towards making this project happen. I can help with coding, or perhaps more helpful, answer questions about wordpress architecture and best practices. I also know much about buddypress.
