We live in a world of ever increasing connectivity. Our technology allows us to keep in touch with the world in ways we could hardly dream of just a generation ago. In recent years, we've even made the jump from computers at home and telephones on our person to the ultimate hybrid—the smart phone. The age of mobile fundraising is here.

CiviCRM is constituent relationship management (CRM) software that is aimed specifically toward nonprofits and civic-sector organizations.  It is used world-wide by many high-profile clients, such as the New York senate and Amnesty International.  The software is free, web-based, and open-source.  

CitizenCRM is a donor management web app, purpose built with the intention of being able to serve as much as 95% of small to mid-sized nonprofit organizations.  The product scales to the size of the database to provide services to smaller organizations that would often only be available to much larger ones.  The company is extremely focused on connections, saying: “We connect your CRM data to your third party apps’ data, we connect your organization to your donors’ social networks, we connect everyone in your organization to the data the need; anytime, anywhere.”
