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.

CiviCRM is helping us serve member-based community organizing groups across the

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.

CiviCRM and WordPress ...

Submitted by lobo on January 22, 2011 - 21:06

Update December 20th: CiviCRM 4.1 for WordPress is currently in alpha stage. Features for this release include:
* Access all CiviCRM back-office functions as a plugin in the WordPress Dashboard. Admin, editor and author roles have full access. Granular permissioning by role is planned for a future release.
* Create online contribution pages, online event registration pages, and profiles - and include as public pages in your WordPress site (front-end).
 
You can help make this a solid first release by:
* Downloading and installing
* Trying it out on the public sandbox
* Discussing issues or questions on the forums
 
Update: This work will be part of CiviCRM v4.1. The release schedule is on the CiviCRM Roadmap
WordPress is the most popular CMS today. Google Trends indicates that WP's popularity is growing at a faster rate than the competition. We've been getting quite a few inquiries from WP users about CiviCRM integration. One of the main stumbling blocks till recently was WP's license which was GPL v2 only which is incompatible with AGPL v3. On Jan 15, 2011 they changed the licence to GPL v2 or later thus making it similar to Drupal / Joomla and also compatible with AGPL v3 (which is the license that CiviCRM uses). This is definitely great news for us to see the licensing situation resolved. You can read more about this licensing change here:

  • Clarification in Licensing Language
  • WordPress changes GPL License Text Again

We'd like to involve the WordPress and CiviCRM community in helping make this integration a reality. With that in mind, we've started a new Make It Happen for this feature to be part of CiviCRM v4.0. Details for this Make it Happen is here: Support WordPress Integration with CiviCRM Please spread the word among your wordpress friends who are interested in CiviCRM. Lets Make It Happen

Wordpress.com support?

Permalink Submitted by MD Sias (not verified) on January 17, 2012 - 18:29

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

Permalink Submitted by lobo on January 18, 2012 - 14:00

 
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

Permalink Submitted by GregoryBest on February 8, 2012 - 17:42

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.

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.

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.

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

Permalink Submitted by Aaron Desatnik (not verified) on March 18, 2011 - 17:22

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 ..

Permalink Submitted by lobo on March 18, 2011 - 18:35

 

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

Using Joomla & CiviCRM—would love to switch over to WordPress

Permalink Submitted by Jayson (not verified) on July 18, 2011 - 16:17

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

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...
