NOTES FROM MY QUICK REVIEW OF SELECT ONLINE RESOURCES:

http://wiki.wellstone.org/NationBuilder
NationBuilder is a non-partisan online software platform for organizing. It is an "all in one" platform, integrating donations, website(s), email blasting and database management into a single platform.

Each "nation" has its own database, unconnected to others unless specifically requested, and is completely owned by each organization.


http://wiki.wellstone.org/ActBlue
ActBlue is a partisan, non-profit fundraising platform and payment processor available to progressive candidates and causes. Unique to ActBlue is its "Express" functionality, which stores donation information to enable "single-click" payment processing from embedded donation buttons in email and on web pages.

  1. Everyaction appears most Comprehensive. I like that it moves beyond just donations and provides expansive opportunities to blend with social media and keep us organized. Does being part of that cost money? I know they support nonprofits, but do they function as one too?

    As far as web wish lists go I think yours is fairly complete. I'll add what may be assumed... Seamless integration with all social media platforms.

    Great work!
