Announcing Program Management Innovations in Nonprofit Cloud

Salesforce has been delivering innovation and solutions to connect customers and businesses for more than twenty years. Starting with customer relationship management, this has evolved to include personalized customer experiences across industries and helping businesses get a 360-degree view of the customer.
At Salesforce, we believe that nonprofits deserve the same leading technology to connect with their constituents and deliver innovation at scale to achieve their missions.
That’s why we’re expanding our Nonprofit Cloud capabilities and are announcing solutions to streamline service delivery to reach more clients and deliver tailored programs at scale. Today, we’re announcing our commitment to build new Nonprofit Cloud Case Management and adding key Program Management functionality in the Nonprofit Success Pack (NPSP).
By combining programs, staff, and clients with the same best-in-class solutions for fundraising, marketing communications and engagement, nonprofits will have a comprehensive solution to better understand and share impact across their entire mission.
Expanding Upon the Nonprofit Success Pack
Salesforce first introduced the Nonprofit Success Pack (NPSP) more than ten years ago to deliver an industry-standard data model built in partnership with our community. Now, more than 40,000 trailblazing customers rely on NPSP’s powerful fundraising and engagement capabilities.
While nonprofits have been using Salesforce.org Nonprofit Cloud and NPSP for years to manage their programs, by adding key program management functionality, Salesforce is making it easier and faster for nonprofits to get started managing programs.
Nonprofits will be able to:
- Manage service delivery-related operations by tracking program engagements and services for clients, beneficiaries, and even cohorts
- Extend with existing Salesforce program management solutions as programs scale
- Make better decisions by being able to view programs, fundraising, and engagement data in a single system
Enhancing Case Management
The new program management functionality lays the groundwork for our future innovations in program and service delivery like the new Nonprofit Cloud Case Management, built to increase efficiencies for case managers at small and medium-sized nonprofits. These service providers can reach more clients while maintaining the personalized care that each individual deserves, with the ability to:
- Surface the most critical information to plan out their day with outstanding tasks and which clients need immediate attention on the home page dashboard
- Manage case plans to track goals, milestones, and action items as the client engages through a program(s)
- Document case notes while it’s top of mind, save it as a draft and revisit when you have more time. Create custom tags to make it easy to sort through and report on what types of meetings you’re spending the most time on
- Search for clients intuitively based on the different ways people want to provide data about themselves
- Track and respond to incidents clients have been involved with in a timely fashion
- Understand more about your clients by delivering assessments to determine how a client’s circumstances are changing over time
- Prove the value of your programs with reports on the impact of programs and drill into insights at the individual program level
Salesforce.org is helping nonprofits drive unprecedented social change through innovative technology solutions. By partnering with the nonprofit community, we aim to help nonprofits achieve their mission, now and in the future, as demands grow and change. Salesforce.org solutions are scalable and flexible for every nonprofit type, regardless of size, cause area, or mission, helping to drive impact across the entire sector.
