Convio Common Ground™ for Donor Management

You work for a nonprofit because you believe in the mission - and that mission is dependent on building relationships with current and future supporters.

To effectively track the details of each relationship, you need a database that is easy to use and will follow your rules. Welcome to Convio Common Ground, a constituent relationship management (CRM) solution that your entire nonprofit organization can use. It moves beyond traditional donor database products by tracking every donation and interaction, adapting to fit the way you work and helping you build stronger relationships.

What is Constituent Relationship Management (CRM)?

CRM can help you be more efficient

Traditionally, nonprofits implement separate database systems for tracking – from donors to volunteers to major gifts. A CRM system like Common Ground solves the problem of disconnected “silos” of data by consolidating all spreadsheets, address books, database systems and lists into a single solution. You now have a complete view of all your relationships and your entire nonprofit organization can help manage the data.

Common Ground Benefits

• Buy only what you need.  Need only two seats? No problem.
• Stop using spreadsheets and home-grown databases. Move all of your data into one, easy-to-use CRM.
• Consolidate data silos across your organization and customize Common Ground to meet the unique needs of your organization -- from donor, volunteer and event management to mission-based functions and more.
• Integrate all your data and best of breed applications using the robust open API or various third-party solutions available on the AppExchange.
• Provide affiliates and chapter organizations access to their valuable data, while respecting their autonomy with affiliate-specific customizations, permission controls and customized reporting.

Pricing

We price Common Ground based on the number of staff you would like to give access to the database.  If your organization needs to have 6 staff access the database, then you would purchase a "seat license" for each staff person. For 1-10 licenses, the price is $100 per license, per month. We require a minimum purchase of 2 licenses ($2,400 per year total). The price includes all features, unlimited support, and access to our resource center with training tutorials, our client community and all upgrades. For organizations that need more than 10 seat licenses (providing 10 or more staff access), we are happy to provide a quote. Because Common Ground is delivered via the Internet, there’s no hardware to purchase, no servers to configure, and no additional software to manage - ever.
