Freeform Solutions is a not-for-profit organization that helps other not-for-profits use technology to achieve their organizational goals and better serve their communities. We aspire to be a leading organization serving not-for-profits in Canada, and we need another highly motivated and exceptionally talented individual to join our small and growing consulting team.

CiviCRM is a web-based, open source CRM system, designed specifically to meet the needs of advocacy, non-profit and non-governmental organizations that integrates deeply with Drupal, including content, views and the permissioning system. Elected officials, professional/trade associations, political campaigns and parties, government agencies, and other similar organizations are among its growing number of enthusiastic users. Using CiviCRM shows you how to harness CiviCRM’s impressive array of possibilities as you develop and execute performance-critical CRM strategies.

This book will help you become familiar with the structure and main functions of CiviCRM. It will guide you in developing and successfully implementing a CRM strategy for your organization using detailed explanations and practical examples.

Using CiviCRM walks you through developing a CRM Implementation Plan that is suited to your organization's size, culture, and needs. Readers will take away many constituent relationship management best practices and the knowledge of how to implement them with CiviCRM. Benefits of Using CiviCRM will be felt across your organization, and help it better achieve its mission.

We are looking for a civicrm consultant with experience in Association Management. We are based in Toronto, Canada. We currently use Civicrm for several or our clients and for the most part we integrate and customize internally. For an upcoming project with a food and nutrition management association we will need outside help to assess our needs and work with us on going. We prefer someone who can commute to our Toronto office location easily.

Hi
Does anyone have implemented any gender of automatic tax receipts system on CiviCRM?

IATS is a subsidiary of Ticketmaster that offers an excellent way for non-profits in Canada to get transaction processor services - you don't even need a merchant account, and it's relatively inexpensive. It's a step up from a service like 'canadahelps' because you can integrate it into your site and get the donor data into a CRM automatically, and can also be used for e-commerce (in theory).

Since I know internationalization is a big deal to Canadians, I figured I'd cross-post this to some groups. Please don't kill me, this is important. :) There's very little time to get these patches in before code freeze! (June 1)

The following patches desperately need reviews from people familiar with internationalization of site content. The goal is to get Drupal 6 to have internationalization right in core:

- translation of site settings, content types, user profile fields
and so on by storing translations of their string properties with

I registered civicrm.ca some time ago because it was available, and have just gotten around to setting up a basic 5.1 install with the links module on the community subdomain with the goal of having a directory of Canadian organization installs of Civicrm.

So - if you are a developer or site administrator of a Canadian organization using civicrm - please add yourself to the directory! I've left the registration open for now, but I'll probably have to moderate it when the new breed of drupal comment spammers discover me.
