CiviCRM is an open source and freely downloadable customer relationship management (CRM) solution. However, CiviCRM LLC, its developer, sees CiviCRM as a constituent relationship management solution, replacing the word customer to more accurately describe the relationships of non-profit organizations and advocacy.
