Packaged Solutions – Convio Go™

Convio for Human and Social Services

From local food banks and homeless shelters to national hunger relief agencies, social services organizations like yours work tirelessly to raise money and other resources required to serve people in need. Your organization knows too well the struggle to do more with less government funding and to find cost-effective ways to raise money from other sources. And as an added challenge, your organization depends heavily on donations and support from people other than those who you serve every day.

Convio helps social services organizations like yours use the Internet to grow your email address file, better manager donor database records to help enhance your constituent relationships, quickly and efficiently attract financial and volunteer support, and stretch your direct response dollars so that you can help more people.

Streamline your fundraising process

Convio Fundraising provides you with the tools you need to shift your fundraising efforts online and reach new prospective donors in your community. These cost-effective online fundraising methods can be used in support of, or as a replacement for, expensive, labor-intensive direct mail or other traditional channels.   

Our Events solution allows you to easily manage programs, including annual walks, food drives, and volunteer appreciation days, to build awareness in the communities you serve. Through easy-to-use online donation and registration forms, you can increase the efficiency of your events and provide a better constituent experience.

Extend your reach in the community

Using Convio Email Marketing, you can reach out to year-round supporters from past campaigns or events with targeted appeals for funds or to promote volunteer opportunities. By developing programs such as monthly or quarterly newsletters, you can stay in touch with supporters, reducing donor attrition rates and providing them with more value.

Our Personal Events solution allows you to invite loyal donors, supporters or volunteers to set up events such as volunteering at a local food bank or holding a food or clothing drive, in support of your organization. Personal events provide opportunities for peer-to-peer networking and help you reach a new group of potential supporters. Your constituents will feel a greater sense of involvement, ownership, and loyalty with your organization.

And our Common Ground™ donor database solution helps you better manage all of these constituent relationships to help you continually better your understanding and communication between your organization and its supporters.

Realize the full potential of your website

Your organization is filled with powerful stories of the people you serve and the people who volunteer to help. Using our web content management solutions, you can give your volunteers tools to tell their stories online and inspire other people to give. In addition, even your non-technical staff members can reach younger potential donors and volunteers, who typically prefer online communications, by updating web content quickly and easily. 

Having the right software tools is just one component of success. You also need the know-how to help you meet your objectives. Our Client Success Services team can help you define and execute your Internet marketing plans to drive and measure results. Convio also provides industry-leading training programs, technical and product usage support and account managers who understand the unique needs of nonprofit organizations.
