What is a CRM? Constituent Relationship Management (CRM) Solutions are software tools that help you understand your constituents in order to help your organization maximize relationships with donors, volunteers, clients and other stakeholders.

Are you ready for a CRM tool?  If your data collection – spreadsheets, databases, tables, charts, lists – is overwhelming you and you need to break down the silos of information in your organization to feel more connected and empowered, the answer is yes.

Join PeaceWorks Technology Solutions on Tuesday, June 17 at 9am-11am for a free continental breakfast workshop to learn how CiviCRM can change the effectiveness of your organization and help you take control of your information.  This workshop is aimed at not-for-profits and will provide you with thought provoking questions to consider before selecting a CRM, specific information on CiviCRM and will include a demonstration of the tool.  Click here to register.

What makes CiviCRM a good choice?  CiviCRM was designed specifically for the not-for-profit community and begins by understanding relationships, followed by effective processes and scalability.  CiviCRM manages:

• Constituents: focuses on all aspects of your relationship with a constituent
• Donor Development: empowering your organization with knowledge about donors, including fundraisers, campaigns, events, and notes about your conversation history
• Case Management: tools that manage administration and track service delivery related to your clients
• Communications: enables you to build subscriber lists and create effective and personal mass mailings, tracking all results
• Events: allows the creation and registration of free and paid online events, managing participant lists and connecting all responses to individual activity records
• Reports: enables the creation and schedule of reports to evaluate impact and success for achieving an organization’s mission

This event will be held at the United Way Boardroom Winnipeg, beginning at 9am for a light breakfast and continuing on for an interactive and informative workshop on CRM Solutions. Spaces are limited, so register today!

The Story of the Jacobs Center for Neighbourhood Innovation:

The September Citizen-Led Sustainable Change webinar will feature the story of the Jacobs Center for Neighborhood Innovation, presented by Roque Barros and Tom Dewar. Join us on Thursday, September 4, 2014, 1-2 pm ET (noon-1 pm CT).

The Jacobs Center is part of a unique partnership involving neighborhood residents and a large network of local and national investors. A local family foundation has spawned a network of engaged residents, community associations, and other investors to convert 60 acres of abandoned industrial land into a thriving (and still expanding) commercial and cultural center known as The Village at Market Creek; and in the process has enabled residents to own 20 percent, and a new neighborhood foundation another 20 percent; while pledging to go out of business and turn over all remaining assets to community in 20 years. This case is an extraordinary example of innovative practice by a philanthropic foundation, and innovative principles of local organizing and financing for local ownership and control.

Roque Barros talks about The Village at Market Creek Project, and what led to its success as a unique partnership of local residents and a large network of local and national investors in this video on YouTube.
