I went to one regular Salesforce user group meeting in New York City last year and found it not a valuable use of my time. Me sitting there surrounded by IT/database folks of Fortune 500 companies with hundreds, if not thousands of users tracking sales and/or support issues. I gathered a kernel of information here and there, at best. Completely different vibe at today’s meeting. There were about 15-20 people around the table, including a few Salesforce Foundation employees. Every nonprofit was different in our missions, but we seemed to have a common desire to get the most out of our use of Salesforce without spending a fortune on consultants. Not quite the Salesforce Nonprofit Summit, but another clear example of Salesforce’s commitment to our sector. I’ve said this before, but Salesforce has never made me feel like a second class citizen because our organization gets their product donated. If anything, I feel more connected to the Salesforce community and support than I do to technology we pay for. Clearly Salesforce is building their Nonprofit channel to be something more than just a donation program for small organizations. Watch out Blackbaud.
