It would not be as cost-effective (and thus, not produce as much profit) if these SaaS developers had to pay license fees for the software they use (besides the fact that these are the most stable and robust platforms to build upon.) It’s my understanding that none of the major non-profit SaaS players use open source tools.

The second part of Facebook’s advertising platform is likely not going to be used by nonprofits, for the most part, but is important to consider if Facebook is a part of your constitiuent-building or fundraising strategy. Social Ads are sponsored advertisements that are linked to users profile data, social graph, and activities.

This means that the “big three&# nonprofit CRM/Fundraising/Advocacy vendors will all be publicly traded companies, and thus completely beholden to their shareholders to maximize profit.
