CiviCRM (/ˈsɪvi ˌsiːɑːrˈɛm/ SIV-ee C-R-M) is a web-based suite of internationalized open-source software for constituency relationship management that falls under the broad rubric of customer relationship management. It is specifically designed for the needs of non-profit, non-governmental, and advocacy groups, and serves as an association-management system. CiviCRM is designed to manage information about an organization’s donors, members, event registrants, subscribers, grant-application seekers and funders, and case contacts. Volunteers, activists, and voters – as well as more general sorts of business contacts such as employees, clients, or vendors – can be managed using CiviCRM.
