CiviCRM makes San Francisco Baykeeper a better advocate for San Francisco Bay. Before Baykeeper started using CiviCRM, we had a Stone-Age system for accepting online donations, a custom event registration system that we paid a developer to update for every event, and a separate database for sending emails and managing email contacts.

By ElietHenderson Filed under Case studies and user stories, MeetupsSan Francisco Baykeeper's case study of moving from Blackbaud Raiser's Edge to CiviCRM was the featured topic at this month's San Francisco meetup. I previously wrote about our transition in this blog and wanted to provide an up-to-date look at that process, plus our latest advances and ongoing challenges. Baykeeper has now been successfully using CiviCRM for almost a year.
There were around 15 people at the meetup, and we had a lively discussion with lots of Q and A during the presentation.
