Convio for Animal Welfare Organizations

Convio animal welfare clients work ranges from national animal welfare organizations to local shelters. Raising funds and getting the word out about their needs are critical to their ongoing success. Like any organization that depends on individual donations and earned revenue from services and programs, our clients have realized the high cost and low payoff of direct mail and other traditional forms of contact.

Animal welfare groups using Convio products and services benefit from an integrated, cost-effective solution for attracting donations, building an online community of supporters, and promoting local services. Designed for easy integration with the Convio donor database/constituent relationship management solution Common Ground™, as well as other donor databases including Blackbaud's The Raiser's Edge® and SofterWare's DonorPerfect™, Convio helps our animal welfare clients use the Internet strategically to:

• Conduct cost-effective online fundraising campaigns,
• Build and sustain relationships with supporters through targeted online communications,
• Promote local services such as adoptions, spay/neuter programs and training classes,
• Send targeted emails for vaccination reminders, "lost pet" announcements and other important communications, and 
• Build an online community of people who are passionate about animal welfare.

Our suite of software and services helps animal welfare groups better solve problems such as managing fundraising and outreach programs over the Internet, creating new web pages, raising money though online product sales and providing a donor database solution for managing all constituent relationships and synchronizing with other databases.  Some of our clients choose to take advantage of our full suite while others use only the products they need now, and add products and services as their needs grow.

Along with proper tools for success, our clients are empowered to create custom constituent experiences to reach new supporters, more deeply engage existing supporters and drive a longer relationship with both. Convio’s Client Success Services  team helps define and execute Internet marketing plans to drive and measure results. We also provide training, technical and product usage support and account managers to cater to the unique needs of nonprofit organizations through our Convio Services.
