CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I was investigating how to deliver this functionality and came across CiviCRM.
If anyone can comment on the efficacy of CiviCRM as it relates to this list, I would greatly appreciate it.

    b - track donors, and donor giving
    c - designate one-time gifts

    f - update their contact information
    g - schedule visits to donor groups

RFP? Thank you. I put this list together myself, although it's certainly not detailed enough to be an RFP. 

Since I am doing this work pro-bono for a non-profit, hiring *other* professional services is really out of the question.

I have before and since followed up with many of the items in the list, but a few are not readily evident in the docs or demos:

1. the parent -> child relationships needed for viewing at the child level, but rolling up to the parent level for events, donor reports, etc.

2. Whether Joomla or Drupal will support a blogging environment similar to WordPress MU for example.

3. I could certainly code these things, but the idea here is to identify as much functionality as possible that won't need to be coded.

Thanks in advance for any comments!
