ActBlue review
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
The primary problem that ActBlue solves for us is creating an interface for online contributions. We don’t have the size of an organization where we could design something this well. It also has very good contribution location tools as well as good data visualization, although we don’t use it as much because it doesn’t include all our contributions
