What is NationBuilder and Why Do We Love It?
NationBuilder is the tool everyone who's ever worked on a campaign wishes they'd had – features include everything from built in themes to bulk email including social media integration with Facebook and Twitter, online donations using Paypal as well as other international payment methods. Included is also a dashboard to keep track of all statistics, coordinate volunteers, and determine all eligible voters geographically. Best of all, NationBuilder is fully customizable, easy to use and affordable; allowing users to pay only for what they use, depending on their current needs.
How is NationBuilder different?
Runs your whole site. NationBuilder is a unique community organizing system (COS) that empowers you to run your entire site, supporter and prospect database and donor recruitment and finance tracking from one site. You don't need an extra content management system (CMS) with NationBuilder - it is one, with rich customizable themes that make it like a WordPress for organizing.
Deeply social. We don't bolt on some share buttons and call it social media - we interweave Twitter mentions of both your broadcaster IDs and your website into the administrative dashboard and activity stream. Likewise, Facebook page activities and Facebook and Meetup events are tightly tied into your nation, helping you to create a database that reflects the true scope of your nation's support across the social web. You can interact with your Facebook and Twitter supporters and prospects right from your NationBuilder control panel and collect event RSVPs and market ticketed events.
Real-time activity stream. Instead of running reports once a week, NationBuilder shows recent updates from your site, Twitter, Facebook pages, events, donations, any activity happening that you should care about. This activity stream is highly filterable, and provides field organizers, finance directors, social media managers and other parts of your organization a "now time" view of activity in you nation. This real-time newsfeed is similar to a Facebook activity stream, tailored to help you track and guide the health of your nation. It’s very addictive.
