Upcoming Nonprofit Starter Pack (NPSP) 3.0 Upgrade Webinar

Are you a nonprofit organization still on the Nonprofit Starter Pack (NPSP) version 2.0? Are you on an even older version? Are you interested in upgrading to the NPSP 3.0? Not sure what new features are available or how to upgrade? On November 12, we will be hosting a webinar to cover the highlights of NPSP 3.0 and provide you with information to help you with your upgrade!

NPSP 3.0 Overview

NPSP 3.0 is a set of managed packages installed on Salesforce to customize the platform for some common nonprofit use cases. It is the most current version of the Nonprofit Starter Pack, and it has some key improvements and new features compared to the previous version, NPSP 2.0. A key feature of NPSP 3.0 is that it automatically receives updates from the Salesforce Foundation, meaning that new functionality is added to your instance without needing to install new packages. Furthermore, the older packages are no longer supported by the Salesforce Foundation and no longer receive updates. Upgrading to NPSP 3.0 means your package will remain current and as new features are released to improve the user experience, you will receive them automatically!

If you implemented your Salesforce instance during or after August of 2014, you are already on the NPSP 3.0. If your organization began using Salesforce prior to August of 2014, you may be using an older version of the Nonprofit Starter Pack. To check which version you are using, click “Setup” in the header and then locate “Installed Packages” in the column on the left. Look for a package called “Contacts & Organizations” or “Households”. The version number here will indicate the version of that you are currently using.

Key Features of the upgrade include:

Household Accounts
Primary Affiliation
Address Management
Opportunity Naming Conventions
Grant Management
Allocation Management
Data Import Template
Salesforce1 Enabled
Table Driven Trigger Management
