Benefits of Salesforce solutions for nonprofits

Challenges facing nonprofits

Separated fundraising data

Fundraising data is often held in one or more disparate, unconnected systems. This prevents nonprofits from having a clear picture of their fundraising activity, funds, and grants.

Complex donor profiles

It’s difficult to understand who donors are, how often they donate and to what programs/campaigns, complicating segmenting and content personalization. Data analytics is needed to refine targeting and complex user journeys to send appealing messages.

Donor engagement

It can be challenging to identify new donor opportunities based on their history, as well as ensuring organizations communicate with those prospective donors effectively, via the right channels.

Achieving necessary transparency

Up-to-date, accurate and comprehensive reporting on the spending of funds and the results of programs can be difficult, and gathering data and making reports is extremely time consuming.

Estimating impact and tracking efficiency

Nonprofits struggle to gain an adequate picture of their success, for internal analysis as well as reporting externally, and have difficulty evaluating their efficiency in order to optimize operations.

Showing individual donors’ impact

Charitable organizations are often asked “how is my donation being spent?” Tying donations to grants and outcomes on an individual basis is either technically challenging or very manual and time-consuming.

Complex mix of giving streams

Donations are collected via many sources, including third-party giving sites, and data may not all be stored in one place. Processing and managing this data is time-consuming.

Grant management and maintenance

Local files and manual processes slow down the grant process and stakeholder collaboration. Grantees must also comply with milestone reporting and updates, which can be challenging - especially in the field, with limited connectivity.

Utilizing volunteers effectively

With a range of different volunteers, each with their own skills and preferences, in different locations, it can be hard to match each of them to the tasks that are most suitable and make the most effective use of their efforts.
