 The most popular CRM in the non profit sphere is CIVICRM,
http://civicrm.org/

That said, *I* would use Joomla because it is 10 times faster for me to take
some existing components and add/tweak them.

As for email campaigns, again I would use PHPlist because I know how to go
through and setup all the whitelisting, feedback loops, domain key signing,
SPF/Sender ID domain records, etc to minimize email being marked as spam.
 And PHPlist has throttling built into it.

But I recommend MailChimp since they have an easy to use api and a PHP
library so you can integrate it with Joomla sign up processing fairly
easily.
