What is CiviCRM?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CiviCRM, specifically designed for non-profits like associations, empowers them to actively track their relationships with members and other stakeholders through its open-source customer relationship management (CRM) solution. There are many CRMs available and they all vary in their functionality and limitations. They have the reputation of being one of the most robust CRMs available for associations because of their wealth of functionality, flexibility, and ability to create any amount of content types and custom fields and tags.

They are your one-stop-shop to store all of your association\u2019s information; your membership types, member info, prospects, board members, volunteers, events, sponsorship<\/a>, payments \u2014 you name it, you can store it there.

Its power lies in its seamless integration with your website and member portal, enabling prospects to interact with lead magnets on your site and members to access and engage with their benefits on the portal, while it captures all data and activity. This makes for detailed data that you can mine for powerful reports, and impactful marketing and financial decisions.
