NationBuilder overview

What is NationBuilder?

NationBuilder is the most-used platform for advocacy organizations, political campaigns, and nonprofits, with additional use across education and the public sector. It unifies a supporter CRM, website and donation-page builder, email and text messaging, petitions and advocacy actions, and field organizing tools in one system, so supporter data flows across every channel instead of sitting in disconnected silos.

Core capabilities include a fully integrated people database with custom fields and permission sets, drip email automations and A/B testing, membership management, address geocoding with turf cutting and autodistricting for field operations, and built-in payment and donation processing with recurring giving. ActionButton lets teams spin up shareable quizzes, polls, and petitions and capture every action directly into the database.

NationBuilder integrates with tools across fundraising, communications, and organizing — including Zapier, Google Analytics, WordPress, CallHub, and Ecanvasser — and offers a developer API and single sign-on on higher tiers for custom integrations and identity management.

Privacy and data-compliance controls are built in to help organizations meet their obligations and earn supporter trust. Every plan includes unlimited users and unlimited email blasts. Trusted by more than 9,000 organizations across 112 countries.

They killed the integration with Anedot - if you Anedot, you won't be able to integrate with NationBuilder without the Pro Plan
