Tools
ECDA team uses Action Network as the recommended CRM (Database) and Lunda as the recommended Fundraising contribution form. We provide tech support and assistance for these tools. ECDA has special arrangements with the software providers around pricing, and we offer contracting conditions that ensure that the financial cost of using these tools is not an impediment to growth and excellence in using them.
In case your party already has locked contracts for other digital organizing tools, and that transition to recommended software is impossible, we are still able to assist as long as your current tech stack has the features and capabilities necessary.
