TurningPoint is an interesting solution for organizations that need to gauge constituent response. In terms of non-profits, it is mainly geared toward educational institution, but other applications could certainly be devised as the nonprofit world becomes more high-tech. Basically, the system integrates with PowerPoint in order to poll audience members. This has a variety of implications, and for educational purposes can allow teachers to gauge students’ comprehension throughout a lesson. Additionally, the system can be used for test situations, potentially streamlining the testing/grading/feedback cycle to be more efficient.

- Written by Lorna Doone Brewer
Orange Leap is a, on-demand, web-based constituent and donation management solution for nonprofits. It is designed to track individual or organizational constituents in a user interface that is easy to learn. The system has been developed to enable quick data entry, with terminology that is easy to understand- or the terminology can be changed to match that used by the nonprofit. Context-appropriate navigation significantly decreases navigation-related confusion so that what used to take four or five steps often can be done in two or less. Orange Leap is also very customizable with the ability to modify, rename, or hide any screen or field based upon business requirements.Read more...
