Overall Satisfaction with Salesforce.org Nonprofit Cloud

We use the Non-Profit Success Pack (NPSP) component of nonprofit cloud with Sales Cloud as our core database and CRM to manage all of our donations income, regular giving, customer services, and relationship management for high-value supporters. It is our core business system and we are 100% dependent on it. We don't use any of the premium products such as Elevate or the Accounting Subledger. We have never evaluated them as they are not available in Australia. NPSP is not a complete solution for us. We use Fundraising Accelerator (AKA Pronto) from Alphasys to bridge many of the gaps in NPSP. In addition to Sales Cloud, we also have Marketing Cloud and Tableau CRM in our solution.
  • The data model is robust and well matched to the needs of a fundraising organisation.
  • The regular giving automation works well and meets our requirements.
  • It is very well architected to be extended for other functions.
  • There is no receipting within the NPSP.
  • There is no connection to our payment gateway to manage donations.
  • There are no tools for banking reconciliation (Accounting Subledger is new, but not available in Australia).
  • There is no integrations to fundraising platforms, and only basic data importing tools.
  • The localisation for Australia is not great. It is natively USA centric.
  • Flexibility to meet business requirements using the excellent automation tool of Salescloud, and interworking with the larger salesforce ecosystem.
  • Data model.
  • Regular giving.
  • Huge increase in productivity that has enabled growth.
  • Has allowed new fundraising products to be launched easily.
  • Best fundraising year ever. All KPIs that were set for our implementation project have been over-achieved.
