Case: A mid-sized national organization wants to run a national campaign via segmented lists
Kabissa wants to use PledgeBank for CiviCRM to mobilize its supporters within the U.S. to "adopt" and support the construction of computer centers within its African communities (allowing fundraising, but also allowing donation of materials, letters of support, manual labor, etc. - much like this)
Specific needs:
- staff admin needs to create a sample pledge that admin-privileged volunteers in the U.S. can replicate, picking from a list generated from its organizational database (see here);
- module needs to mark pledge signers as "signed" within U.S. supporter database (segmented list);
- admin-privileged volunteers need to be able to mail signers through CiviMail, and to then create groups via CiviMember, events via CiviEvents, and donations via CiviContribute
Case: A large multi-national organization wants to run a pledge campaign across many countries
Amnesty wants to have a campaign based on the current repression and crackdown on lawful protests and picketing and of the right to assemble in the former Soviet Republics. Amnesty is focusing it's campaign on creating "flash mobs" of people who will enter certain famous public areas, at identical times and in different countries, and wants to have people pledge on PledgeBank that they will show up. In order to avoid the group being blocked until it forms (since everyone entering a place would not be a group until they formed up within the square) and to avoid being accused of conspiracy (since it would be planned in the open online), the idea is that people will pledge to show up if x amount of other people show up doing some innocuous activity (ie. wearing a hat, or eating an ice cream etc. to take an example from Belarus).
Specific needs:
- admin needs to write pledge and signers need to sign pledge in their native language (CivicSpace hack needs to be added as feature);
- integration with CiviMail;
- integration with external mailing lists (governmental, media, etc.) maintained by the organization
