Abstract

Non Profit organizations are an integral part of the civil society. They are different from both government and business organizations because they are voluntary, self governing and serve the purpose and common goals of their members. Non-pro?t revenue sources include fees for membership, service, government grants, individual and corporate donations, member dues, investments, revenues from commercial ventures, and other sources. The reason most Non-Profits find it difficult to achieve a total 360 degree view of their constituency is technology. Hence, an affordable, user friendly and easy to use solution is needed to manage members, payments, donations and social goals. A solution that integrates open source CiviCRM and CMS is being built. CMS is used to display and share information with the world while CRM allows personal content segmentation, permission and analysis. Synchronization of the dynamic duo negates the necessity to manually transfer data leading to faster, cheaper and accurate distribution of information.
