Convio Innovator Awards: Common Ground CRM Visionary

CAMFED International, an international nonprofit dedicated to fighting poverty and HIV/AIDS in Africa by educating girls and empowering women to become leaders of change, was presented with an Innovator Award in the Common Ground CRM Visionary category for their sophisticated use of the solution to meet the diverse database needs of the organization’s U.S. and U.K. offices. All of Camfed’s donations are now housed in a master CRM that is easy to use and accessible from any web-enabled device. The two instances of Common Ground automatically convert dollars to pounds, change date formats, and make other geographic-specific changes to the information exchanged between systems.

C3: Colorectal Cancer Coalition, is an Innovator finalist for its desire to have a 360-degree view of constituents to help deepen understanding of relationships and improve follow-through. The organization had a long-term vision of integrating data between multiple applications that contained constituent data. Now C3 leverages integrated data to launch targeted marketing campaigns based on a holistic view of constituents' actions and interests.

Community New Start is an Innovator finalist for the organization's ability to “manage their mission” within Common Ground, capturing data to track services outcomes for their afterschool and mentoring programs.
