Empowering Libertarians Nationwide

Better data, stronger party

Time saver for volunteers

Volunteers are able to focus on outreach and leave behind the worries of back office operations and overly technical administration. The system just works.

Grow membership

States have the most current and robust data and it's put in the hands of the right volunteers locally to effectively engage new members.

Build county affiliates

Our path to overall success begins at home. To do that, we must equip the local affiliates with the tools they need to support their candidates.

Relevant Messaging

Certain members typically have more interest some topics than others. We should know that so that they are getting the information they want, and not the rest.

Preserve Institutional Knowledge

As leadership changes, the institutional knowledge of a party needs to be preserved.

Effective GOTV Outreach

During those critical last days, GOTV efforts can determine who wins on election day.

Party Synergy

Success at one level of the party helps other levels whether that be national, state or local due to data sharing and working off the same "list".

State affiliates can take advantage of our LP CRM Network platform service provides easy to use tools to manage your site and data. You are able to get a complete 360 view of your contacts because of its’ breadth; no more scattered spreadsheets, it’s all in one place.

The CRM (Customer Relationship Management) is used for voter preferences, contribution / membership processing and management, event management, recording an assortment of activities, relationships and much more. Signup to increase the efficiency and productivity of your affiliate by properly managing data.

The primary goal of the LP CRM Network is to leverage economies of scale to reduce the burden on State Affiliates. Instead of being locked in basements, fighting technical issues, our activists can be focused on outreach to the public. In simple terms, it’s a database where our state parties store critical information: contact information on members, current and potential supporters, donors, and candidates.

The “State CRM Project” officially began In August 2017, when the LNC funded a proof-of-concept phase for the initial design and implementation of a CRM system. In simpler language: a database.

Fast forward, and we now have 30 state parties already using the new database! Our affiliates are effectively managing memberships, donations, event registrations and registered Libertarian voter data. We are super-charging State Affiliates by quickly reducing the back-office overhead.

We’ve had overwhelming interest from states to join the program. You can monitor our progress on this map. We’re truly excited about the rapid progress being made, voluntarily, by our state parties that want to grow!

Onboarding a state can be intensive. This involves preparing their existing data set(s), web and CRM configuration, importing data, and training. In addition we work to maintain, expand functionality and provide key support to affiliates to leverage the system. Funding this service keeps states focused on outreach at the local level.

Would you be willing to help fund this most essential and desired support our affiliates?

All of this important work – on-boarding, maintenance and development – is being done to grow the party at the ground level and build a backbone to support our Libertarian candidates of tomorrow. To keep this momentum going, and to take us to the next level, we must employ modern IT tools to empower our affiliates, activists, and candidates.

Won’t you join us in contributing to sustain and grow this critical tool for affiliates?

What States are On it?

We are currently focused on the national party’s migration to the system. State onboarding will resume in 2023.

FAQ

Most frequent questions and answers

Here’s the count. We started the project with a ‘proof-of-concept’ phase which included 5 states in August 2017. We onboard states when they have the prerequsite info ready for us.

States can, but it really isn’t efficient to do that and there was a pattern of those same systems falling into disrepair. Some states over a 10 year period, switched up to 4 times which led to significant disruption among volunteers and data loss. States don’t have the consistent IT human resources to manage such systems. The LNC actually tried to implement on a state-by-state basis. It’s sub-optimal. We achieve economies of scale, stability and have more party cooperation by running this on a national level.

Libertarian volunteers can request access. Your state must be on it already. There is no per user / record cost. Users are added at the appropriate level whether that be for your state, region or county affiliate. Please contact your state IT Director to get started.

We do not as we’ve found county sites to be too redundant when compared to LP.org and a state site and they tend to fall into disrepair. Rather, it is more sustainable to integrate into your state site.

We can host your county or regional affiliate donation page and have the data feed right into your state party site. You can also add events and news and categorize by county. Each state site has a interactive county map that links to a county profile overview.

Maintenance, hosting and improvements total $16,000. We also have an Affiliate Development Specialist and CRM Success Specialist staff.

In addition, the hosting cost covers our complimentary email and trouble ticketing service for states.

Like our other IT Services, this is complimentary for affiliates. National takes care of the hosting and software costs.

Affiliates are responsible for add-on costs regarding their payment processor, mass email, and SMS services. The system allows for each state site to connect and establish their own accounts with the add-ons mentioned above.

We do encourage individuals and state affiliates to invest in this shared tool.

We’d love the help! You should get in touch with your State IT Director. We have a working group that meets monthly.

We use WordPress and CiviCRM.

Yes. An example to check out lpin.org.
