Hey Doug, I heard about a resource from a person who has done some websites for non-profits: http://civicrm.org/ I haven't used it or checked it out yet but it looks interesting. We're also considering switching to using ACT in-house www.act.com <http://www.goodsearch.com/Redirect.aspx?type=1&url=http://rc12.overture.com /d/sr/?xargs=15KPjg1g1St5auwuf0L%5FiXEbqUkwwBnJi9980dDpUNF9JYg3tuIvYuPa7By%5 FVIa%2D1m6AulyYDn9K9gOqz2n%5F%2DUFBCMQVuXG%2DL7yt2QwNpucr%5FyG4xR1uY03trZmNB DPGlXNWPmJo3q3budYoWhUCcVrdNGjkTGo54mnJOglKMTGKyJgF957Q2OLJsSv61xxYiDI4UWDfU SYYjK1zjFL8Ff3Y14kcyUDg%2E%2E&yargs=www.act.com> as it seems pretty reasonably priced. I'm not sure if it'll have all the functionality you're looking for though.

We have a small membership, about 300 people. I would like to move to an online database so that several of our board members can access the information. In addition to tracking membership, renewals, and individual donations we would like to continue to track volunteers for projects and to be able to email members. Of course we would like to keep our costs low and have something that is simple to use. After scouting around the web I identified Wild apricot, salesforce.com, and etapestry as potential solutions (although Wild apricot seems a bit expensive). Does anyone have experience with any of these applications for small nonprofits? Any other suggestions are appreciated as well. Happy Thanksgiving.
