Convio for Disaster and International Relief

Successful relief efforts depend on immediate response in the wake of a catastrophic event. That's why the Internet has become the first place donors and volunteers turn to give assistance — and why many relief organizations are turning to the Internet to help drive support.

Convio offers a comprehensive Internet solution to help you not only solicit donations quickly, but also develop online relationships that turn one-time donors into lifetime supporters. Designed to integrate easily with the existing technology infrastructures of disaster and international relief agencies, Convio makes it possible for you to use the Internet strategically to:

React to natural disasters and other urgent events immediately by launching event-specific email campaigns and creating Web micro-sites for donation appeals around specific efforts,
Follow up quickly with emails to those who do not respond to your initial email messages,
Practice good stewardship with follow-up campaigns telling donors how their contributions were used, and solicit additional donations if needed,
Drive donors to become regular contributors by sending them email messages based on the campaigns to which they've responded, and
Expand your donor base by reaching new, younger donors who often prefer online communication.

Convio provides a suite of software and services to help you manage fundraising and outreach programs over the Internet. You can purchase the full suite or only the products you need now, and add products and services as your needs grow:

Convio Fundraising to create online fundraising campaigns in response to urgent events,
Convio Email Marketing to follow up with recipients who do not respond initially, and to encourage further involvement from those who do,
Convio Web Content Management to create campaign specific Web sites, and maintain an ongoing, personalized Web experience for donors,
Constituent360™ online database for gathering and using constituent information, and
DataSync for synchronization with your existing donor database.

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.
