Tips to help you convince your organization’s management that implementing Salesforce is the right move for your nonprofit. Be prepared by doing your research, citing use cases and presenting findings from other organizations using Salesforce.
Donating to a charity is a great way to ensure that their mission is accomplished, but there is something so much more rewarding about being able to volunteer your time, and sometimes sweat, to a cause that is near and dear to your heart. As our lives become increasingly busier as we take on careers, family and hobbies, it can be hard to find a time that works for you and an organization to volunteer your time.
