Foundation

For some time after their launch as a Foundation, the Lambent Foundation functioned with a home page and a Filemaker database managed by the single Program Officer. They wanted their support of projects at the intersection of activism and the visual beauty and art that moves people to act to be represented by a more beautiful and descriptive website presence.

The Lambent Foundation approached CivicActions with the desire for visual design, Drupal website development and the integration of the Filemaker CRM they had been using.

Artist Trust came to CivicActions with a need to create a web presence that would serve to publicize the good work they are doing, as well as provide critical tools and resources for the artists the organization supports. Among the challenges for Washington artists are access to healthcare information (since most are self-employed) and access to a variety of other professional resources such as exhibit space, residency information, materials and professional services. 

When the Free Software Foundation came to us in the spring of 2006, they were in the process of redrafting the General Public License (GPL). The new version, GPLv3, would take a hard line on the issue of Digital Rights Management.
