EMILY's List launches on Springboard

Submitted by Ethan Kiczek on Monday, August 06, 2012.

Gearing up for the November elections, EMILY's List recently launched a new website built on Jackson River's Springboard platform. We were very excited to work with EMILY’s List, a group dedicated to electing pro-choice Democratic women to office. They do so through a variety of outreach programs as well as directly training, supporting and endorsing rising Democratic women candidates in state and federal races.

Over a 6 month development cycle, Jackson River helped EMILY's List migrate their online presence to a state-of-the-art fundraising platform with Springboard as the centerpiece. We extended the out-of-the-box functionality of Springboard to include two key features:

  • the ability for donors to give to multiple candidates across a variety of payment gateways, and
  • the ability for donors to distribute a total amount across selected candidates

Springboard integrates with Salesforce CRM and the ExactTarget email marketing system to create a complete solution for EMILY's List fundraising and outreach efforts.

An attractive design by Free Range and solid cloud hosting services provided by Blackmesh compliment the powerful tools we built with by Springboard. Now, with Springboard in place, EMILY"s List can focus on what they do best.
