We provide a full suite of online organizing tools, called Salsa, to help you build awareness and mobilize members and supporters and keep them engaged.
Our technology was specifically designed to help organizations engage their members and supporters more efficiently and effectively. Our services are web-based, don't require any technical expertise, and are designed to integrate easily with web publication systems and offline databases.
Salsa has everything you need to create campaigns, send timely alerts and newsletters, get real-time reports and inspire grassroots action.
Each tab in the DIA headquarters has a Dashboard--a place where you can store at-a-glance report summaries of your DIA data, read the latest system bulletins from the DIA programmers and admins, and communicate within your organization via Sticky notes. Each campaign manager can create their own completely customizable dashboard specified for their needs. For instance, your fundraising expert could choose to view different reports on her dashboard specific to donations, while your campaigns guru sees the latest action alerts on hers.

How Much Will This Cost?
DemocracyInAction.org was born out of the notion that online advocacy tools are a force that organizations can use to create social change and should be accessible to those with an interest in building a more civil society. Click here to see our price sheet.
How Can We Do This?
We're able to provide advanced tools and services cheaply for several reasons.
The technology infrastructure required for a professional services firm no longer needs $200K high-tech salaries, high-priced bulky databases, and huge servers running proprietary software to operate efficiently and effectively. Technology has migrated toward more reliable open source tools, and we embrace every tried and tested piece out there.
Also, as a nonprofit, every dime we make is reinvested into our toolset, and every addition to our toolset benefits every group. We build things once and every organization reaps the benefits.
Do You Provide Service?
Although we're a small organization, we're very proud to offer exceptional services and support. We have many years of experience working in both the software development and nonprofit advocacy community and have learned the most effective ways of using the Internet to organize and promote change online. We are quick to give advice and share best practices with all of the organizations using DemocracyInAction's tools.
