The Nonprofit Success Pack or NPSP is the foundation of the Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud. It transforms our typical for-profit data model in Salesforce and adapts it to suit the needs of Nonprofits.
So, where a for-profit organisation would typically focus on sales and customers. Nonprofit organisations would focus on managing constituents, fundraising and grant-making.
So how does NPSP do this?
Quite simply it is a purpose-built app that sits on top of Salesforce’s Enterprise platform. If you take a step back to look at what this means, you’ll see that the same technology that can propel for-profit companies can help local and global Nonprofits have better collaboration across teams and geographies by removing data silos, gathering deeper insights, and tracking important metrics.
Also, it allows Nonprofits to be able to communicate better between internal staff, volunteers, donors, and service users/clients (depending on what the Nonprofit does).
If you’re anything like us, that alone may give you a warm fuzzy feeling on the inside.
To put it into a nutshell it allows Nonprofits to be better connected and more efficient all on the secure Salesforce platform.
The end goal of NPSP is to accelerate fundraising by supporting functionality including:
- Recurring Donations
- Engagement Plans
- Relationship Management
- Real-time Reporting
- Program Management
And you can expect a few more blogs from us on what that all looks like.
In addition to NPSP, you may have heard that Marketing Cloud can now use NPSP data to help Nonprofits drive marketing and engagement to the next level.
