Groundspring and Network for Good Merge
Groundspring (www.groundspring.org) and Network for Good (www.networkforgood.org) announced yesterday that they will merge. This is great news, in my mind- Groundspring has been struggling to get the funding it needs to keep up the quality work they do. It’s a sad day when a nonprofit provider of good tools at reasonable prices with several thousand customers and strong name recognition has trouble getting funding to turn the corner to sustainability.
The merger doesn’t look like it will have much effect on actual services in the short term. Both organizations told me that their intention is to build their business around both the donation button tool that Network for Good offers and the higher-end online donation and email services that Groundspring offers. The tools are different enough that there’s certainly room for both. And they’re working on some exciting stuff – it particular, they have a partnership with Salesforce, and they presented a demo of Groundspring DonateNow integrated into a Salesforce database at the recent Salesforce user’s conference.
