Why we use CiviCRM

Unified view of every constituent. Store information about individuals, organizations and households and your interactions with them.
Strong free and open source community. A rapidly growing open source community of developers, consulting firms, consultants and others support, extend and maintain the software.
Designed for the social sector. CiviCRM was designed from the ground up for non-governmental organizations that engage in advocacy, community and political organizing, and non-profit work.
Seamless integration with web sites. CiviCRM integrates directly into popular open source CMS packages, including Drupal and Mambo. Registration and visitor interactions are logged directly into the system, including end-user maintenance of their own addresses and custom fields.
Internationalized & Localized. CiviCRM was built from the ground up as a product intended to be used globally. It can store data in many localized formats and supports most languages.
Open source & open standards. Licensed under the free softaware license for web services applications, the AGPL, users can make any modification to the software, can benefit from modifications made by others and can effectively interoperate with other applications.
Affordable and cost effective. CiviCRM is available without a license fee and is supported by a community of nonprofit-focused consultants.
