Convio* made a name for itself when Howard Dean’s 2004 presidential primary campaign used its software to power its online fundraising efforts. In early 2007 Convio merged with GetActive Software, also well known for its work with public interest and charitable organizations. Convio’s focus is on helping nonprofits use the Internet strategically to drive strong results. Through its integrated suite of Web-based tools, clients are able to keep track of constituents for fundraising efforts, advocacy campaigns, membership drives, volunteer organization and related missions. “We specialize in helping nonprofits and advocacy groups use the Internet as a strategic communications channel,” explains Convio’s VP of Marketing, Fred Waugh.
