No matter what your cause is and how you work to further it, we’ve designed the Nonprofit Success Pack (NPSP) to be a flexible platform for every nonprofit.


Here are just a handful of Foundations leveraging Salesforce to serve more people, more effectively:

  • Analytics

    We have reinvented analytics for social impact with Salesforce Wave Analytics. Go beyond reports and dashboards – dynamically drill into data to identify opportunities and make better decisions. Wave Analytics is a cloud-based platform designed for any member of your team to get instant insights on any device. Quickly query and explore data across your systems to get exactly the information you need without being stuck in prebuilt reports. You can also collaborate immediately and share insights with team members right inside Salesforce.

  • Marketing Communications

    The popularity of mobile devices and social networks has changed the way we communicate, and organizations and their causes can quickly move from niche to mainstream. With limited resources, organizations can dramatically amplify their social change efforts with the right technology and a solid social and email marketing strategy.

  • Community Engagement

    Collaboration among staff, funders, members, volunteers and other supporters is key to building alignment and accelerating your mission. Salesforce for Nonprofits offers a secure environment to build communities of interest, purpose and action, so your entire ecosystem can work together to drive social change.

  • Build Apps

    App Cloud – the evolution of the Salesforce Platform – is at the heart of the Connected Nonprofit. App Cloud is your new one-stop shop for building, running, managing, and optimizing apps.

It’s About More Than The Best Technology

We believe that cloud, mobile, and social technologies need to become a core part of every organization’s operations. So we provide the world’s #1 enterprise cloud platform at a fraction of the cost for nonprofits. But we don’t just stop at technology. Salesforce is also committed to providing other vital resources in the form of volunteers and financial support.
