Managing data efficiently. All organizations should be able to do this, although for the nonprofit, it can be a make-or-break scenario. In recent years, a commercial strategy has been introduced successfully to the nonprofit sector and, though not popular yet, is gaining ground as the go-to method of managing constituents. Constituent Relationship Management (CRM), according to Forrester Research, “is the set of processes and supporting technologies used to acquire, retain, and enhance constituent relationships.” Knowing how important this information management can be to a nonprofit, a Pennsylvania company, Ukuu Logic, has developed a CRM software tool and has launched an Indiegogo campaign to raise funds to complete programming and production and roll out the finished product to those who need it the most: nonprofit organizations.

MicroFemture is an interesting new launch at Indiegogo. It is not just a fundraising campaign. It is a Social Responsible Non-Profit Lending Fund for Female Microbusinesses. They help women worldwide who like to start their own small business, and need funding between 500 and 5,000€.
