In the nonprofit sector, selecting a Constituent Relationship Management (CRM) system is a pivotal decision that can significantly influence an organization’s ability to fulfill its mission. While prominent CRM providers like Blackbaud, Salesforce, Bonterra, and Virtuous hold substantial market presence, bigger isn’t always better. Your nonprofit deserves a partner—not just a provider.
At ROI Solutions, we believe that a nonprofit CRM should do more than just manage data—it should empower your mission, adapt to your unique needs, and foster a true partnership focused on long-term success. That’s why we prioritize mission over market share, offering flexible, purpose-built solutions that put nonprofits first.
Mission Over Market Share: Why Independence Matters
Many CRM providers claim to serve nonprofits, but their business models often prioritize shareholder returns over mission impact. While the recent surge of investments in nonprofit technology is flattering, it also comes with a massive expectation that those investments will see a big payoff. This financial pressure often drives companies to prioritize investor returns over the evolving needs of nonprofits.
This is where ROI Solutions stands apart. Unlike many CRM providers shaped by shareholder demands, mergers, or acquisitions, ROI Solutions has remained wholeheartedly independent for over 25 years. As an independently woman-owned business, we answer only to our nonprofit clients—not venture capital or corporate boards.
This independence allows us to focus on client-driven innovation, evolving based on what nonprofits truly need, rather than what maximizes investor returns. Built by nonprofit technologists, we are dedicated to empowering world-changing organizations with solutions designed for long-term impact. Our commitment is to mission-driven success, not profit margins.
Where other CRMs answer to shareholders, ROI Solutions answers to nonprofits.
The EPIC Framework: Building Strong Partnerships
Establishing a robust relationship with your technology partner is as important as the software’s capabilities. An EPIC partnership—one built on Expertise, Proactivity, Investment, and Culture—ensures that your CRM provider is not just functional, but truly transformative.
Expertise
ROI Solutions specializes exclusively in nonprofit technology, with deep experience in environmental conservation, public media, human rights, and more.
Unlike other providers where nonprofits compete for attention with other industries, we are 100% focused on organizations like yours.
Proactivity
While many providers take a reactive approach, ROI Solutions anticipates your needs, offering proactive strategy sessions, tailored support, and ongoing system enhancements.
With no outsourced support or chatbot customer service, every client has a dedicated, named team.
Investment
Some CRM vendors view their clients as numbers. At ROI Solutions, we invest in your success by continuously improving our platform based on your feedback.
Unlike others that push generic updates for mass adoption, our product development is collaborative, customizable, and mission-driven.
Culture
Owned and operated independently by nonprofit technology experts, ROI Solutions operates with the same values of service, integrity, and impact that drive our clients.
Unlike large corporations, we measure success by our clients’ fundraising growth, supporter engagement, and real-world mission outcomes—not stock prices.
