Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud
Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud is a web-based platform that brings nonprofit funding, program delivery, and impact measurement together. Fundraising tools cover donor profiles, reusable audience segments, gift entry, and management of commitments, designations, soft credits, and tributes. Volunteer management includes events, roles, shifts, locations, attendance, applications, and engagement history, with self-service sign-up through Experience Cloud. Program features track enrollment, attendance, services, and benefits; outcome tools let organizations set targets, record results, and collect assessment data. Grantmaking covers publishing funding opportunities, collaborating on proposals, awarding grants, and managing budgets and disbursements. Accounting Subledger consolidates Salesforce CRM data with an organization's accounting system. Named connections include Salesforce products such as Marketing Cloud, Data 360, Slack, and OmniStudio, plus partner apps including Classy, DonorDrive, WealthEngine, and AmpImpact. Eligible nonprofits can receive 10 free licenses through the Power of Us Program. Paid pricing is listed from $60/user/mo (annual), with a 30-day trial.
