Are you looking for a database, but not sure which one is right? Or do you wish your current database allowed you to track donations, volunteers, emails, and events? CiviCRM may be a tool that is right for your organization.

Thank you everyone who voted for Kabissa Connections on Netsquared to get us into the final 15 and thank you judges who selected us to be among the 5 winning organizations to receive a $5,000 cash prize. I also would like to congratulate the other 4 winners, in particular Agricultural Marketing Information Services in Cameroon and Integrated Electonic Peace Building Project in Kenya which are both very innovative and powerful projects deserving of recognition and support. 

In a nutshell, Kabissa Connections will address trust concerns by providing a platform revealing the connections that organizations have with networks, international organizations, supporters and service providers. We will do this for organizations working in Africa while collaborating with others on open source tools, standards and approaches that can be replicated in other regions.

I am very excited to receive this recognition for an idea that has been brewing for years and which it appears we will now have the opportunity to implement. We will have more news soon over at kabissa.org on next steps and opportunities to get involved, so please be sure to join Kabissa and subscribe to our monthly member newsletter.

In the meantime, please help make it happen by making a donation to Kabissa. Thanks!

I just went through and made another round of improvements to the Kabissa Connections project on Netsquared to Build Reputation and Trust of Organizations By Revealing Relationships Online. I'm feeling quite good about it and am very excited about the possibilities for Kabissa to serve the African civil society sector in a new way.

Do you know what drupal or civicrm are? Or how IT volounteers can help your organization?

During the last session on the day one of the Local Philathropy Workshop in Romania we were trying to find out and define the ways in which Romanian ITC volounteers could help local NGOs using specific tools that they have the knowlege about and experience in using.

 

Listen to Piotrek Szotkowski from CiviCRM talking about this program as a great example of how ITC can support NGOs

I just read a very thought provoking post on Zen and the Art of Nonprofit Technology comparing Salesforce and CiviCRM. This has been something heavy on my mind as I think of solutions that will work best for our clients to work with. All too often I speak to clients or meet nonprofit staff at conferences/sessions that are unhappy with their CRM systems. The most common solutions I hear people looking to are Salesforce and CiviCRM.

Another factor for CTC's in leveraging GIS for their work is the
release of CiviCRM. CiviCRM is open source, nonprofit-centric
constituent relationship management (CRM) software.  Think of it as
an open source version of Kintera/Convio.

CiviCRM has a nice little google maps integration that could allow a
CTC to easily collect and store their own data and "automagically"
