Associations

Associations play a vital role in connecting members, advancing industries, and supporting professional growth. Whether you represent a trade group, a professional society, or a member-driven nonprofit, your mission depends on technology that supports engagement, insight, and long-term sustainability.

Fíonta partners with associations of all types to design, implement, and support Salesforce solutions that strengthen relationships, streamline operations, and create lasting value. Our team brings broad experience across the association landscape, along with deep expertise in legal and medical sectors.

Association Needs

Support for the Full Member Journey

From onboarding to renewal, members expect a seamless and personalized experience. We help associations manage the full membership lifecycle, including engagement tracking, segmentation, and retention strategies—all in a single, connected system.

Continuing Education and Credential Management

Whether it’s CLE, CME, or custom credentials, your members rely on education to advance their careers. We support continuing education workflows, credit tracking, and integrations with learning platforms to ensure a cohesive experience for learners and staff alike.

Credentialing portals don’t have to be painful

Committees, Chapters, and Volunteer Engagement

Volunteer leadership is the backbone of many associations. We help manage committee structures, nominations, and participation tracking, making it easier to support active member involvement and leadership development.

Events That Connect and Inform

Conferences, webinars, and regional events play a key role in member value. We help track registrations, manage speakers and schedules, and connect event data to member profiles for a more complete view of engagement.

Communications That Build Relationships

Members expect relevant, timely communication. We help associations deliver personalized messaging across email, campaigns, and engagement journeys using Salesforce Marketing Cloud and Account Engagement (Pardot).

Data That Supports Strategic Decisions

With the right data in hand, associations can better understand what members value and where to invest. We help you design dashboards and reports that support board reporting, operational planning, and member experience strategies.

What our clients are saying

Prison Fellowship International Logo

We hired Fionta to help us design a digital case management solution for our children's program, to be used by staff in low-bandwidth and developing world contexts. Our solution leveraged Program Management Module and the Non Profit Starter Pack, as well as an offline data collection tool they recommended, TaroWorks, for our offline users, and an experience website, for our online users.

Fionta's approach was unique because they flexed to our needs. They adapted solutions to meet our unique circumstances, and were flexible to collaborate with our internal staff on the build. Ultimately, this helped our internal staff understand and own our solution, which means we will be able to maintain it going forward.

Fionta brings expertise and excellence in project management, technical know-how, and an understanding of the unique needs and challenges of nonprofits.

Not having an in-house Salesforce Administrator can have its challenges, but Fíonta provides the guidance and support we need to meet our goals effectively while seeking continuous process improvement. Even when budgets are tight, this is one line item I will always fight for.

The folks at Fíonta patiently guided us through the tedious process of transferring our data from Blackbaud to Salesforce. They were and are always available to answer questions and come up with creative solutions to our particular needs.

They demonstrated an understanding of nonprofit needs and displayed a willingness to accommodate our budget and schedule. All of the staff...were incredibly professional and knowledgeable about Salesforce. I enjoyed the time the database engineer took to understand our particular Salesforce instance. I'd recommend Fíonta to everyone!

Our consultant asked the right questions to ensure we were always tackling and prioritizing a critical problem, and often gave us options and a heads-up regarding potential project overruns and unexpected areas when there wasn’t enough information to forecast issues more precisely. We LOVE working with them and plan on engaging them further.
