Wild Apricot can help your association or nonprofit

Over the past year and a half I have completed about a dozen Wild Apricot system implementations.   The leading factors in this have been, 

1) Cost, with a free version that converts to easy to estimate levels of service payable on a monthly basis.  The cost is at the lower end of the spectrum of this model.

2) Ease of use, As a software as a service model, (SaaS) Wild Apricot does not require technical training or support to keep the system running.   Software updates and patches are applied automatically, the system is backed up and uptime managed by the provider.

3) Integration, Wild Apricot includes membership management, website front end, donation management, mass email function, event management,  and more.  All of these features in one place makes a very capable and efficient system.

4) Excellent training and support resources, Wild Apricot provides on the page help resources, video training, webinar training, and a support call in line.  This is by far the most attractive feature of Wild Apricot.  

5) Multi administrator functionality, With the ability to delegate administration functions, Wild Apricot is a great fit for non-profit / volunteer environments.   You can delegate event management, website updates, member management, all without allowing full system access.
