What is a CRM, and how can they benefit nonprofits?
A CRM is software that manages a nonprofit's relationships and interactions with stakeholders, from donors and program participants to volunteers and clients. Nonprofit CRM software improves relationship management by creating a 360-degree view of everyone and capturing their interactions with the organization.
