Member Program
 
 
Members Protect CiviCRM for Everyone
 
Membership with CiviCRM is a small but growing base of unrestricted support for the project. A handful of organizations get it and invest in CiviCRM as members so that the nearly 10k organizations that use it can continue to rely on it. With recent changes to the program and new member-only benefits, there’s no good reason not to join as a member and help protect your investment in the leading open source CRM for nonprofits. Please take a moment and learn more about becoming a member of CiviCRM.
