About Project On Goverment Oversight
Founded in 1981, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is a nonpartisan independent watchdog that champions good government reforms. POGO’s investigations into corruption, misconduct, and conflicts of interest achieve a more effective, accountable, open, and ethical federal government.
The challenge
- Struggled to store, access and report on the ever-growing amount of information they were collecting on their constituents
- Other challenges spanned across a website that was not visually appealing nor engaging and nurturing thousands of followers
- 800-pages of SEC documents needed to be shared in a user friendly way for viewers

- Used Convio Luminate CRM to consolidate five years of constituent data from various sources
- Engaged with the Convio User Experience team to refresh its homepage design and wrapper
- Leveraged Convio Facebook API so constituents could donate or sign-up for emails without leaving Facebook
