Nonprofit Success Pack Salesforce.

Salesforce Nonprofit Success Pack Case Study

Leveraging Salesforce to Support Philanthropic leadership

PROBLEM:

  • Community Foundation uses Salesforce’s Nonprofit Success Pack to maintain member data and associated donation records, but the solution was originally configured incorrectly, resulting in:
    • Limiting the usage of Salesforce functionality
    • Significant steps and time to update / track membership changes
    • No tracking of donation receipts sent to members that donated

SOLUTION:

  • Tectonic performed analysis on the existing Nonprofit Success Pack and identified and made improvements.  The following activities were performed during the project:
    • Identified and corrected existing data gaps via multiple asynchronous batch automations synchronizing membership and donor data between the source system and Salesforce
    • Improved processes and Salesforce configurations to keep donating members data up to date in the Salesforce environment
    • Developed automations to send receipts to donating members (4 different types of custom PDF Tax Receipts based on defined criteria)
    • Developed automations to send pledge notifications to users to follow-up with members

RESULTS:

  • The Northwest Community Foundation is now able to use Salesforce NPSP to its full potential and leverage automations to bring efficiency and accuracy to the department.
  • Tectonic continues to work with this Northwest Community Foundation to further enhance their usage of Salesforce NonProfit Success Pack with additional process improvements and automations
