Open Source Solutions for Non Profits

Open source software has increased in popularity over the last couple of years. While it may just seem like another technology trend, this innovative software could make you rethink everything you know to be true about software and how it can work for your organization.

The term “open” refers to the ease of access to the source code of the software. Access to this code allows you to go in and modify, evolve, and redistribute the software so that you are able to make the software work for your specific needs. Although there is a lot of buzz about the steady rise of open source software, few really understand how it can help to shape their non-profit organization.

Constituent relationship management (CRM) gives your non-profit the ability to build informed and meaningful relationships with constituents. While there is a great deal of closed, proprietary software to be found for non-profits, none of it is as flexible and effective as open source CRM software. Open CRM software contains full applications that can be altered for the unique needs of your organization, making your software as individual as your non-profit.
