On March 14, 2023, Salesforce announced exciting news about the first release of its new Nonprofit Cloud solution. This release reflects the platform’s investment in best-in-class nonprofit technology and continued commitment to the sector.
As a long-standing partner, Classy is excited about what this means for nonprofit organizations and continues to work with Salesforce to empower and propel the sector forward.
Learn what functionality the Nonprofit Cloud currently offers, how your organization can benefit, and what’s ahead on the Cloud’s 2023 roadmap.
Introducing the New Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud
Rather than continuing to layer nonprofit applications on top of the Salesforce platform, as the software has historically functioned, the new Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud is built into the platform’s core.
A variety of industries are serviced by Salesforce industry-specific Clouds, like Financial Services Cloud, Health Cloud, Education Cloud, and more. This new Nonprofit Cloud solution allows access to innovation across all Salesforce industries.
With this unified view of cross-sector innovation, paired with a streamlined data management solution, nonprofits can reimagine how to scale their impact.
What Is Currently Available Through the Nonprofit Cloud?
To date, Salesforce has catered to organizations’ unique needs by delivering more than 14 purpose-built packages on top of its platform. Salesforce will maintain support for its existing offerings, including the Salesforce Nonprofit Success Pack (NPSP), in addition to its new solution.
The new Nonprofit Cloud is first focusing on program management and case management, with fundraising, grantmaking, engagement, and outcomes planned to release later this year.
Additionally, Salesforce is excited to announce that the new Nonprofit Cloud innovation will be included in its Power of Us program, which grants eligible nonprofit and educational organizations discounted access to Salesforce products and resources.
Why Did Salesforce Launch the Nonprofit Cloud?
Salesforce for Nonprofits was created with the intention to help nonprofits build donor relationships that drive change.
With existing donor management dashboards, email campaign automation, grant management tools, and more already included in its extensive list of CRM offerings, Salesforce’s new Nonprofit Cloud will provide organizations with an even simpler way to produce and measure outcomes.
