Outreach Coordinators
Give your grassroots supporters an app to really reach out into their communities. Let them engage, recruit and build awareness of your organization.
Track activity on all outreach both digital and real-world. Clearly see what your community are thinking in graphic analytics.
Create teams, assign tasks and push notifications directly to your supporters through the app. Organize efficiently and remotely.

Fundraising Managers
Peer-to-peer fundraising builds on your existing network of supporters and uses them to find new donors in the community.
Grow your donor base organically recruiting through personal relationships and then incentivising new supporters to recruit others.
Create a predictable fundraising program that asks for small donations regularly with text-to-donate tools or website donation widgets.

Supporter Coordinators
Visualize your membership or supporters with our unique membership directory including mapping and supporter profiles.
Recruit new members with our simple Volunteer toggle that is activated by your existing team members and retain those new recruits with your engagement apps.
Coordinate supporter's activities in the community suggesting activities for them to take part in and tracking their work remotely.

Community Managers
Caseworker allows you to capture issues from your community and follow-up with them in a timely and efficient manner. Assign a casefile to a team member and indicate a priority level so the casework can be processed directly from the Ecanvasser dashboard. Reply to the community member by email and resolve the issue for them quickly.
Capture issues at local meetings, on doorsteps or even from social media. Each issue is individually logged and recorded automatically so you are always on top of what your community needs.

Phone outreach
There is now a clear trend towards phone and SMS outreach for community organizations. Face-to-face outreach programs at events are now being supplemented by phone and SMS communications. Using your teams' own phones you can reach supporters and community members quickly and efficiently. All data is captured in real-time while on the call and sync'd back to the central database. Simply assign call lists to your volunteers and even push call scripts direct to their app to keep them on-message at all times. Phone and SMS outreach is the most effective and efficient way of reaching your community this year.
