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.
