Key challenges

What nonprofits teams are working through.

  • Donor, program and finance data sitting in separate systems, so impact reporting is manual
  • Legacy NPSP customizations that make upgrades and reporting harder each year
  • Grant and case management tracked outside the CRM in spreadsheets
  • Volunteer scheduling and engagement disconnected from the constituent record
  • Limited internal admin capacity to maintain and evolve the platform

Nonprofit Cloud

Nonprofit Cloud is Salesforce's current core product for mission-driven organizations, built on the Salesforce platform data model rather than a managed package. It brings fundraising, program management, grantmaking, case management and outcomes reporting into one place, so donor, beneficiary and program data can be reported on together instead of reconciled across spreadsheets and disconnected tools.

FAQ

Salesforce for Nonprofits — frequently asked questions

What is Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud?

Nonprofit Cloud is Salesforce's current product for mission-driven organizations, covering fundraising, program management, grantmaking and case management. It is built into the Salesforce platform data model rather than delivered as a managed package, which means reporting and automation work the same way they do elsewhere on the platform.

How is Nonprofit Cloud different from NPSP?

NPSP is a managed package layered on top of standard Salesforce objects, while Nonprofit Cloud uses native platform objects designed for nonprofit programs, grants and giving. The practical difference is that Nonprofit Cloud covers program and grant management natively and integrates more directly with newer platform capabilities such as Data 360 and Agentforce.

Do we have to move off NPSP?

No immediate move is required, and the right timing depends on your roadmap, customization depth and reporting needs. Many organizations plan a migration when they are already investing in new program, grant or reporting capability, so the work is done once rather than twice.

Can Salesforce handle program outcomes as well as fundraising?

Yes. Program enrollment, service delivery, case notes and outcome measures can be tracked against the same constituent record as giving history. That is what makes combined impact and fundraising reporting possible without exporting to spreadsheets.

How does AX3 work with small nonprofit teams?

AX3 scopes engagements so that a small internal team is not left maintaining something they cannot support, and can provide ongoing managed services or a part-time consultant model after go-live. Delivery approach and support level are agreed during scoping.
