NationBuilder has been the all-in-one answer for many political organizations who are facing difficult digital organizing questions...

  • How do I organize all of my supporters, volunteers, and donors?
  • How do I get more traction and voter engagement from my website?
  • How do I effectively collaborate with my supporters?
  • How do I mobilize leaders to action in my community?

Without the right digital organizing tools, these questions are daunting. NationBuilder is an integrated platform that puts civic engagement in the spotlight of campaign management and equips political campaigns for relational organizing. For those who don’t use it, systems and workflows can feel disconnected and can be messy.

“I know NationBuilder will keep evolving and we're going to keep evolving—so we're going to evolve together.”

- NCGOP, Digital Director

   

Harness the power of a CRM

The People section of NationBuilder is a customer relationship management (CRM) database that can hold information about each of your supporters - your contact information, location, voter history, attendance at in-person and online events, peer texting, email, and social media outreach along with all the outreach that has been sent to them, individually.

When all of your supporters are added to your database, it’s key to know who is actually in there. NationBuilder’s CRM assists in organizing and managing volunteers by providing tools for recruitment, task assignment, and tracking volunteer engagement. These insights can streamline your grassroots efforts and empower volunteer contribution initiatives.

NationBuilder offers multiple ways to segment and understand your data through employing recruiter IDs filters, lists, and tags. By utilizing these functionalities, your organization efficiently segments your data, equips your outreach strategy with targeted communication and discovers a deeper understanding of your supporter demographic for more effective outreach. For example, phone banking is crucial for political campaigns as it allows organizations to maintain a comprehensive database of supporter information, including things like contact details, voter history, and event attendance.

   

Engage Supporters with Action-Oriented Campaigns

The Website function of NationBuilder is full of action-oriented themes that draw in new supporters with each visit that comes from your organizing efforts by using action pages and other user-generated content. By creating action pages on your NationBuilder website, your political party can generate voter registration, canvassing participation, petition signatures, volunteer sign ups, recruitment to social media platforms, RSVPs for in-person and virtual events, and more. In doing so, you are providing ways for a website visitor to interact with your organization and encouraging them to become more involved.

At NationBuilder, we understand that the cornerstone of effective political engagement lies in the secure handling of data and strict adherence to regulatory standards. That's why we prioritize data security and compliance, ensuring that state parties can confidently manage sensitive information while meeting relevant regulations.

From tailoring follow-up actions based on website interactions to empowering leaders with partnership initiatives, our platform is built to meet the unique needs of modern political campaigns. With seamless enrollment into email automations, personalized guidance along specific paths, and dynamic journeys for advanced personalization, NationBuilder provides limitless customization options to empower your website, giving you the edge in connecting with your audience and achieving your campaign goals.
