WidgetMakr Now Better Than Ever

Last night we launched an awesome new update to our WidgetMakr donation form application. WidgetMakr, the most customizable fundraising form creator, is now even better.Last fall, we released WidgetMakr into the wild and it is now being used by:

• one national committee,
• two presidential campaigns, and
• LOTS of congressional, senatorial campaigns, and non-profits.

The best part about WidgetMaker is that it is fully integrated into Crimson. This means that all donations made through WidgetMakr are instantly recorded in Crimson where the real magic can happen (management dashboards, compliance screening, data hygiene, & FEC reporting).Not using WidgetMakr yet? Visit widgetmakr.com or give us a call (800-878-6837) and we can get you started.
