Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud review

Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud is the most expansive option here. It brings fundraising, marketing and engagement, program and outcome management, volunteer management and grantmaking onto one platform, so a nonprofit can connect a donation to the program it funded and report on outcomes. Salesforce says over 60,000 nonprofits use it. Pricing is per user: Sales and Service Core costs $70 per user per month billed annually, Advanced $125 and the Max editions $285. Eligible nonprofits receive 10 Core licenses at no cost through the Power of Us Program, which can make the license bill zero for a small team. The real cost is setup. Nonprofit Cloud is a platform you configure, with data models, page layouts and automation to design, so most organizations hire an implementation partner or keep an admin on staff. For a development office with several fundraisers, program staff and complex reporting needs, that investment pays off.
