About the Course
Choosing the right CRM for your organization is overwhelming! A good CRM will make your life easier. The wrong one can make your life a constant nightmare. As nonprofit consultants, we have sat through hours of software demos, set up databases from start to finish, and led trainings to support dozens of nonprofit clients in developing strategies for their existing CRMs. To make it simple for busy nonprofit professionals like you, we decided to package our complete knowledge of CRMs into a simple course, CRMs for Nonprofits Decoded.
