CiviCRM is a powerful tool that could be really useful for many non-profits in Mexico.
Unfortunately the community is very small in my country. I hope that in the next years the community expands around Latin America.

WIKIMEDIA FOUNDATION

wikimediafoundation.org

At the Wikimedia Foundation, we leverage CiviCRM to maintain millions of records of donors and their contributions. Working with the product and particularly with the community has been a terrific experience. There's nothing quite like two open source organizations working together to meet their respective goals while ultimately strengthening the open source community as a whole.

Woolman Sierra Friends Center

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.

Third Sector Design

We work with non-profits to help them use and understand Civi. It's such an important tool for these organisations and it's great to see people using it in different and interesting ways. Using and working with Civi is made so much more fun and useful by the enthusiastic and talented community surrounding it.

AustLII

www.austlii.edu.au

AustLII is the leader in the free access to law movement and has a philospophical bias towards open source systems. After investigating all the other possible major alternatives it seemed logical to turn to CiviCRM. We have software developer resources, and though it is not core business, we may be able to direct some of these resources towards improving CiviCRM for the community.

NS WEB SOLUTIONS

I'm quite impressed with the responsiveness of the CiviCRM community, both from the core developers and many experienced users who have quickly provided answers and ideas in areas where I just needed that extra insight, or where we needed to do something totally new. After several years working with open source software, I'm finding the CiviCRM community to be the most responsive and helpful I've seen.

We make CiviCRM one of our primary offerings because it just provides so much right out of the box that our clients need, without a line of custom code. And when we need to extend it for the clients' unique needs, the APIs and programming hooks let us add in features that would be impossible in some other systems. This means we can provide great value to our clients with quick turnaround times and reasonable budgets, which is great for our clients and for us.

Support your favorite "Make it Happen" campaign"
OR
Contribute to the project-at-large

CiviCRM has celebrated its 7th birthday in March 2012. In six years, we've accomplished a lot:

  • Established Civi as a leading free and open source CRM solution globally
  • Provided mission-critical CRM tools for thousands of civic sector organizations
  • ... for organizations of all sizes from Alex's Lemonade Stand to the Wikimedia Foundation
  • Grown from a simple contact manager in v1 to managing cases, contributions, events, mailings, memberships, grants and now campaigns
  • Put out 18 amazingly awesome releases with 7,000+ features implemented and bugs fixed
  • 12K+ community forum members (we've removed most of the spammers!) and 70K forum posts

So far the project has relied on foundation support (thanks to OSI, Yellow Dog Foundation and Chintu Gudiya Foundation), large consulting contracts (thanx Physician Health Network, US PIRG, Quest Scholars, Alpha International) and our training program to bootstrap and get the project to its current state. In order to remain sustainable in the coming years, we need to transition to becoming a fully community funded and supported project.

Please consider making a contribution of $25, $50, $100 or whatever you can afford to help improve and sustain the project. If everyone who has used CiviCRM donated $10 we would easily meet and exceed our ambitious goals. Choose your favorite "Make it Happen" project, OR contribute to the project-at-large.

Please note that sponsorships for Make it Happen projects and contributions to the CiviCRM general development fund are not tax-deductible.
