COVA Praises CiviCore

Here at CiviCore, we take pride in client satisfaction with our products and services.  Because of this, it is particularly gratifying for us to hear back from old clients about their successes with CiviCore.  We were thrilled to receive the note below this week from COVA, a client who uses CiviCore database technology to track and manage Victim Assistance and Victim Services in Colorado:

"I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank CiviCore for all the hard work and flexibility in creating/maintaining our Online Crime Victim Services Directory.  As I track unique visits to the Directory, I've noticed that not only is it an extremely valuable resource used by many, many folks all around the State of Colorado, but it has received visits from all over the world, too!  I use Google Analytics to track usage, and just gush with pride every time I have the opportunity to share with our Board of Directors how many visits we get from the US, Canada, Mexico, Spain, France, Malaysia, etc.!  Much of this is due to the user-friendly interface you have so patiently worked with us to create, it seems that anyone can access the information.  So a big THANK YOU to you from everyone here at the Colorado Organization for Victim Assistance!"

EscuelaParaMisHijos.org goes live!


CiviCore is happy to announce that the Spanish Language version of our School Choice tool has been launched at www.escuelaparamishijos.org.  The project is sponsored by Univision, the largest Spanish-language television station in the United States.

We are thrilled to be able to give the same school choice functionality found on coloradoschoolchoice.org to the Spanish-speaking population of Colorado, and we look forward to EscuelaParaMisHijos.org helping thousands of parents in making the right school choice for their children.

GivingFirst.org tops $1million in donations for 2009!

We are proud to announce that GivingFirst.org, a Community First Foundation giving site powered by CiviCore's giving platform, processed more than $1 million in donations during the 2009 calendar year.  The donations processed by GivingFirst increased almost every month of the year, concluding with more than $500,000 given in December!

We would like to congratulate not only GivingFirst, but also the people of Colorado, for their commitment to giving.  Here's to GivingFirst having an even more successful 2010!

We are excited to announce that we have added Ryan Holden to our team full-time as of January of 2010. While Ryan has been heavily involved in CiviCore's application development since he joined our team in late 2008, we are excited to have him on board full-time now.

Ryan has significant experience with development in Adobe Coldfusion, SQL, PHP, C, C++, Objective C, and Java, amongst other languages. Ryan's insistence on perfection with his code paired with his vast knowledge of so many languages makes him an invaluable developer here at CiviCore.

Welcome to the team, Ryan!
