Salesforce, one of the leading customer relationship management platforms, recently released a new Nonprofit Cloud, which has been designed to cater to the needs of nonprofit organizations. This new offering is quite different from the Nonprofit Success Pack (NPSP) that has been used by nonprofits for several years.
What is the Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud?
The Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud is built on top of the Salesforce platform like any other Salesforce cloud products. It is specifically for nonprofit organizations. It provides a comprehensive set of tools that enables nonprofits to manage their relationships with donors, volunteers, and beneficiaries effectively. The Nonprofit Cloud includes several features such as fundraising, program management, case management, and marketing automation.
How is this different than the Salesforce Nonprofit Success Pack (NPSP)?
The Nonprofit Cloud is different from NPSP in several ways. Firstly, the Nonprofit Cloud not a package that is installed in your Salesforce instance. Rather, it is built atop of Salesforce platform which will allow it to immensely benefit from the broad features and functionality that the platform offers. It includes a broader range of tools and features that cater to the needs of nonprofits more effectively.
The Nonprofit Cloud is built on the latest Salesforce architecture, which ensures that nonprofits have access to the latest features and updates. This means that nonprofits can leverage the latest technology to improve their operations and impact.
What should nonprofits consider to be ready for this change?
If your nonprofit is currently using NPSP, there are several things that you should consider to be ready for this change. Firstly, you need to understand the new features and capabilities of the Nonprofit Cloud. This will enable you to assess whether the Nonprofit Cloud is the right solution for your organization. Salesforce will continue to support NPSP for the upcoming years. The Nonprofit Cloud is going to be available later in 2023.
The Power of Us program will continue to support nonprofits and provide 10 donated licenses for new 501-c3 nonprofit organizations to use this amazing technology for free.
