Our take
Communities of people can have an enormous impact on the success of charities, political campaigns, and activism movements, but organizing them can be difficult. Whilst social network platforms are generally the solution to this, these are generally not designed for such purposes, presenting a demand for a platform specifically designed for community project management.
NationBuilder provides a community project management platform with the aim to empower the communities behind nonprofits, social movements, and political campaigns to drive change. The software consists of an integrated system of tools for purposes such as building websites that track community engagement, fundraising and financial growth, personalized email and SMS services, and dynamic databasing of supporters.
Whilst NationBuilder’s software and its features resemble many other pre-existing project management platforms, it has taken a unique stance by specifically tackling the gap in the market around community management. By providing an integrated platform of tools for such projects, the company claims that they can help grow revenues for community projects which will ultimately speed up change.
