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 enables us and our clients to invest precious funds into configuring the CRM to meet organisational needs, and building innovative new features, rather than paying annual license fees. With access to the source code and tight integration with leading website content management systems, CiviCRM is extremely flexible.

Woolman Sierra Friends Center

http://woolman.org

If it weren't for CiviCRM we'd be using at least 5 different
systems for Woolman: one for donor management, another for email newsletters, a third for our school enrollment, a fourth for our summer camp registration, and then a whole bunch of spreadsheets for keeping track of things like event attendance, prospective students, CSA memberships, etc. And of course none of those systems would talk to each other or make it possible to get a whole picture of the many ways one person might participate in our education center's activities. Migrating all of our scattered data and disparate systems to CiviCRM was a long and challenging process, but the results have been more than worth it. Our ability to track and report on our programs has improved dramatically, while the burden on staff to do data entry has been greatly reduced, and our participants are happy that they can now register/enroll online rather than mailing or faxing paper forms.

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 :)

Its great to work on a project that has a profound impact on non profits. I am very excited about the work we do on CiviCRM which involves building on each other's ideas to create best of breed solutions for non profits. The fact that CiviCRM is an open source project with an amazing community and dedicated developers is an icing on the cake.

Creating Community Through Media
channelAustin
1143 Northwestern Avenue
78702 Austin, TX
United States
See map: Google Maps
Features Deployed:
  • Association Member Management
  • Constituent Contact Management
  • Contributions
  • Donor Management
  • e-Communications
  • Events
  • Reporting

channelAustin’s innovative approach to digital media and the latest in cutting-edge technologies has transformed Austin’s community television facility into a nationally recognized studio that strives to create community through media. channelAustin provides the tools and training for people to become media makers – to express their passion through creative storytelling, in-depth interviews, documenting community events or recording cultural performances. channelAustin serves Austin area residents in Travis, Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays and Williamson counties whose television programs on cable channels 10, 11 and 16 reach an estimated 285,000 Austin households and a global audience through the Internet.

The Promise:

channelAustin was attracted to CiviCRM because of its promise as a tool to:

  • manage member contact information
  • facilitate online payments via PayPal
  • create and manage events (mainly training classes)
  • accept donations and other payment types
  • integrate with the Drupal-based Community Media modules
  • manage certifications that enable members to reserve studios and equipment
The Challenge:

The challenges primarily arise when the expected or desired use is not solvable with out-of-the-box CiviCRM features and/or the CiviCRM documentation doesn’t address configuration sufficiently to making easy implementation possible. Some areas that have presented problems or required custom coding and configuration included:

  • PayPay recurring payments configuration has been difficult to implement
  • channelAustin’s tiered membership structure required custom coding
  • CiviCRM events limited to one-day events made displaying multi-day events difficult
  • Automatically adding users to certifications groups when members complete classes
Project Team:

This solution was configured and maintained by channelAustin staff with support for A Little Help Hosting.

The Team:
http://civicrm.org/content/little-help-hosting
Key Functionality:
  • Membership Management
  • Event Registration
  • Certification after Completing an Event
Modifications and Modules:
  • CiviCRM Multiday Event
  • CiviCRM Event Autogroup
  • CiviCRM Member PLUS
Benefits To The CiviCRM Community:

Several CiviCRM related Drupal modules have been developed to extend or customize CiviCRM.  These modules have been committed, documented, and included in install profiles used by other community media organizations.
