Voice Foundation Finds a Sound Solution in CiviCRM

One doesn’t need to be an actor, singer, or broadcaster to be a professional voice user – most everyone depends on their voices to earn a living. The Voice Foundation is committed to enhancing the gift of vocal communication through research and education. They needed a way to handle registration for their Annual Symposium and turned to Tadpole for a CiviCRM WordPress website that could be easily managed by a single administrator.

  • Background

    The Voice Foundation’s website and CRM system are managed by a single administrator who is also responsible for putting together the organization’s Annual Symposium. In addition to using CiviEvent to manage registration and accept payment for the event, she needed to be able to collect proposals and abstracts for presentation at the Symposium.

  • Challenges

    Many of early challenges were resolved by integrating Caldera Forms to provide more robust workflows than are currently offered in CiviCRM.

  • Solutions

    Tadpole recommended CiviCRM to The Voice Foundation and were pleased that they were ready and willing to take it on. As fairly early adopters to CiviCRM for WordPress, TVF has seen big improvements, and the introduction of Caldera Forms processors that perform a variety of CiviCRM-related functions have reduced many housekeeping tasks.

Our founding members met at the WordPress NYC MeetUp in 2011 and a year later came together to form Tadpole Collective. We recognize the value of open-source software and the communities that form around it; we owe our existence and livelihoods to WordPress and are deeply committed to the CiviCRM for WordPress project.

We’ve been working with CiviCRM since its earliest integration with WordPress, contributing our efforts to multiple CiviCRM teams on enhancements, extensions, bug fixes and upgrades — and taking the lead on testing all new CiviCRM release candidates to ensure ongoing compatibility with WordPress. While there are many web shops that are competent with CiviCRM for WordPress, we work exclusively with WordPress, the internet’s most popular CMS. Tadpole members also organize CiviDay activities in New York City to provide a forum for local CiviCRM users to come together for educational presentations and collaborative work sessions
