In the nonprofit technology community, I’ve heard stories of cut backs on “nice to have&# items and expenses such as travel and training so that organizations can focus on their most critical goals first and cut back on what they deem not to be completely necessary. Airfare can be one of the pricier parts of getting to the NTC.

Most often nonprofits want to capture information from web users. In addition, sometimes nonprofits want to expose data from the CRM to the CMS. Even if they do, it takes developer time to write the code to do the integration, and that may be resources that a nonprofit doesn’t have. What’s involved in this?
