When crisis strikes and lives are at stake you need to act quickly. Salsa’s donation forms work really well. They’re as easy as possible to work with and they just look right. That allows us to be nimble and get the word out for immediate impact.

We feel like we’re able to do everything we need to do within the software. It’s intuitive, and the technical support is excellent. They answered all our questions and held our hand through the transition from Salsa Classic. CAGV is really pleased with Salsa.

Salsa allows us to engage with our people’s people - those who haven’t heard of our organization yet but who connect with us through our supporters. All their information is captured in our CRM and we can follow up with them for years to come.
