Your CiviCRM support
CiviCRM hosting and dependable support
Monthly support for all things CiviCRM to turn your data into fundraising results and improved workflows.
Missed Opportunities
Are you leveraging CiviCRM effectively to assist in meeting your goals?
Your organization’s CRM is at the core of your back-office operations. Seemingly endless functionality options and the ability to customize it means you have important decisions to keep it running smoothly with hygienic data to align with your nonprofit’s roadmap.
The bottom line is your CRM must be a tool that works to build real social connection with your members and donors.
And let’s be honest, you don’t have unlimited amounts of time. And you may not have the appetite for potential issues that a “trial and error” approach could get you. Opportunity costs are real costs. That’s why a trusted partner can work with you to realize fruitful opportunities and save time / money.
is your CRM,
- Well out of date, sluggish, difficult to upgrade and prone to buggy issues?
- Cumbersome to gather meaningful insights because your data structure is misaligned?
- Difficult to meaningfully search for your donors that haven’t taken certain actions?
- Require too many clicks to accomplish many of your tasks?
- Causing you to implement band-aid fixes that “get the job done” for short-term gain but that ends up costing you down the road and tying you in a knot?
Proactive Support
Reliability. Dedicated support. Peace of mind to do more.
I’m determined to change all that. Imagine advancing your goals with CiviCRM becoming your secret tool. You are empowered by mastering your system and when you aren’t exactly sure the best approach, you can simply get support and get back to going about your day. You started your work in the nonprofit sector to do more; if it feels like you are held back, it might be good idea to take action to change that soon.
Smooth and productive “sailing” feels good. Here are some common reasons why a proactive support approach can pay off many times over:
- CiviCRM hosting that keeps your CiviCRM secure with proactive updates to minimize bugs and other oddities
- Start tracking reliably what matters and be able to adjust this with ease
- Quickly generate lists of donor opportunities from past activities (or lack there of!) and start converting this into real revenue for your cause
- Your system starts to feel like it's on semi-autopilot because you've automate tasks and workflows to save precious staff and volunteer time
- When new challenges and requirements arise, you are confident in extending what you have without fearing you are creating “workarounds” or "technical debt" long-term.

Support when it really matters
I want to partner with you to get results not “sell” you a tool and provide reactionary support. That means I take a proactive approach that goes beyond being an “IT mechanic”.
Want more control over how you get support? Then a Pro Unlimited customized support makes sense if you are looking for some, or all, of the following:
- An extra “pair of hands” when in-house support isn’t enough
- Unlimited advisement and support requests
- Direct DM chat support
- “Drop everything” response time
- Higher availability with extended support hours e.g. need something resolved ASAP? (e.g. 10pm on a Friday night)
If any of that’s your case, then I end up creating a custom plan that fits your budget and needs exactly.
For the hosting component, all plans come with a dedicated 2GB RAM VPS hosting that suits most organizations. If your organization warrants an upgraded CiviCRM hosting plan because of high contact / relational data needs, concurrent users or website traffic demands, it will somewhat higher than the above (custom quote).
