What is CIB

Campaign/Cause-in-a-Box (CIB) is a community-operated, not-for-profit toolkit that helps local groups organise, collaborate, and take action without needing consultants or commercial services. Built by and for the community, CIB provides the structure, tools, and workflows needed to run effective grassroots campaigns – making it easier for everyday people to come together, share skills, and drive positive change in their local area.

Why use CIB

Because it delivers everything a community group needs straight out of the box, purpose-built for real community action and campaigns and ready to use without hiring expensive contractors or tech specialists. CIB provides pre-configured tools, templates, communication systems, and campaign workflows so groups can launch quickly, stay organised, and focus their energy on making an impact – not building infrastructure.

Looking for support?

CIB is designed to be simple, empowering you to run your campaign or cause with tools you can manage yourself. While CIB doesn’t come with formal support, the community is your support network—and with a large ecosystem around WordPress and CiviCRM, you’ll always be able to find guides, tutorials, and community help when you need it. Our goal is to give you the confidence and resources to maintain and grow your own CIB site independently.
