Convio for Small Organizations

Small, Local, Grassroot Nonprofit Organizations

Our small, local and grassroots clients have the convenience of being nimble and agile, however, they also have numerous organizational challenges in common. At some point in the past, all these organizations have been:

• Constrained by budgets that seem to shrink each year. 
• Struggling to do as much as possible with limited staff and in-house technical skills. 
• Using a basic donor database system and maybe even a few web marketing tools, but didn’t have a holistic view of interactions with constituents. 
• Aware they should being doing more online, but weren’t sure of the best way to spend a limited technology budget.

Convio has worked with many resource-constrained organizations to help them achieve tremendous results online. We understand that nonprofit organizations must make difficult decisions about how to spend dollars, and need to see a return on investment. Our easy-to-use software was designed to help organizations of all sizes raise funds and attract supporters in a cost-effective way. Our clients, including the Colorectal Cancer Coalition, Trisomy 18 Foundation and Center for Responsible Lending can attest to how we have helped them be more successful. Listen to David Smith from Hill Country Ride for AIDS, a one-person organization that increased its donations from $90,000 to $573,000 using Convio.

Where do these organizations start? The Convio Go!™ program is a one-year guided program that is ideal for small organizations who are ready to use the Internet more effectively to attract supporters and raise more funds. This structured program combines software and consulting services based on proven online techniques that allow organizations to get started online at a lower cost. Convio Common Ground™, our donor database/constituent relationship management system allows nonprofit organizations to track information about all constituents —including interactions with donors, volunteers, new contacts, and just about anyone who helps to support an organization’s mission —in one place.
