CiviCRM

CiviCRM is an open source Constituent Relationship Management (CRM) solution. CiviCRM is web-based, open source, internationalized, and designed specifically to meet the needs of advocacy, non-profit and non-governmental groups and works well with Drupal sites.

This documentation was written to explain how to configure CiviCRM as part of a Community Media installation and modules included to improve the integration between Drupal and CiviCRM. Many of these CiviCRM related modules were developed specifically for Community Media, but can by used in any Drupal/CiviCRM configuration.
