CiviCRM

Delivering meals to homebound neighbors is a big job—and for Kitchen Angels, managing donations, events, and emails across multiple tools was taking time away from what really matters. With Skvare and CiviCRM on WordPress, everything now lives in one place. Donations are seamless, event RSVPs flow automatically into the system, and emails go out on time—all while staff spend less time on admin and more time helping their community thrive.

Keeping CiviCRM and Drupal up to date can feel tricky — especially with new versions and extensions rolling out. In this video highlight, Mark Hanna (Skvare) walks through how to use Composer with #civicrm on Drupal 10, and shares progress on getting integration with Drupal 11 working. Mark also introduces the CiviCRM extension composer plugin, which lets you download extensions to a configurable folder, making management easier and more flexible. True to his style, he keeps things practical and approachable — a must-watch for anyone managing CiviCRM on Drupal.

Continuing from the last post... 🔗 Tim demo'd a new and improved CiviConnect for establishing and managing Oauth connections. This has been driven by our amazing sponsors Stripe and PayPal, both of which have implemented improvements to their service that we're keen to make use of. 🤝 Patrick from long time supporter Greenpeace demo'd their work on SSO for standalone. 🌼 Kurund from Third Sector Design https://lnkd.in/dSWBrZi4 whipped up an amazing new, lightweight interface for FormBuilder dubbed "Make A Form". Wow! FormBuilder now looks so beautiful! ⚙️ Dave Moreton of Circle Interactive https://lnkd.in/dqwSNQn8 did an impressive demonstration on using AI with CiviCRM and has been driving a very thorough analysis of how AI could be adopted and used within CiviCRM. 📄 When Dave isn't doing that, he's working with Usha of Makoa https://lnkd.in/djv3q3H3 and Alain of Business and Code https://lnkd.in/dpqCHBwt to overhaul the docs interface for CiviCRM, including revising a lot of the content therein. 🛶 Nic Wistreich is continuing to make improvements to River Lea with input from almost everyone.

This initiative is intended to help manage our growing userbase as well as provide better, local support for users in specific markets. We have great participation and leadership from the crew at Software für Engagierte e.V. https://lnkd.in/dzzsaYbu 🇫🇷 Consistent with this effort, we're stoked to share that Guillaume from All In Appli https://lnkd.in/d5TvAbjZ, Usha from Makoa https://lnkd.in/djv3q3H3 and Guy from Inoede Consulting https://lnkd.in/dM_6HNwG have committed to hosting CiviCamp Paris in October 2026.

It’s not always an easy topic, but it’s an important one. In his latest post, Joshua Gowans Gowans (Core Team) shares insights into one of the ways we fund ongoing development: Revenue Sharing (RevShare). With partners like PayPal, Stripe, iATS Payments, and TSYS, every transaction processed through CiviCRM helps support the project — at no additional cost to organizations. That means the more our ecosystem grows, the more sustainable CiviCRM becomes. Blog Post: https://lnkd.in/dH3XtK4H

🚀 CiviCRM 6.0 is here, and it’s a big step forward. In this video highlight, Coleman Watts (CiviCRM Core Team) takes us on a quick journey from CiviCRM’s early days in 2005 to today’s new Entity Framework — showing how API v4, SearchKit, FormBuilder, ECK Extension, and Managed Entities now all come together. The best part? You can build new features with no code. Everything you create in the UI — forms, search kits, entities — can now be exported into an extension. With the new code generator, your UI-based work can be packaged up and reused instantly. It’s a game-changer for developers and non-developers alike.

What if you could create entirely new data types, connect them, and build powerful workflows — all without writing heavy code? That’s exactly the problem the Entity Construction Kit (ECK) set out to solve. In a new blog post, Jens Schuppe shares the story of how ECK went from a simple idea at SYSTOPIA to a powerful tool now helping nonprofits and associations manage everything from volunteers and vehicles to custom integrations with third-party systems.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated trying to manage scheduled jobs in CiviCRM — juggling reminders, recurring donations, or other background tasks — you’re not alone. The default interface gets the job done, but it can be clunky and hard to scale as your needs grow. That’s exactly why the team at Skvare created the Enhanced Job Manager extension. It gives you a clean dashboard to see what’s running (and what’s failing), easy filters to find the job you need, bulk actions to save time, and even clear performance metrics so you can actually understand what’s happening under the hood. https://lnkd.in/de894Gji
