As a Salesforce platform specialist, we have been working with multiple industries & built various industry-specific solutions on the Salesforce platform for over 10 years now. The significance of the world’ #1 CRM platform is, it offers a variety of solutions spreading over various business verticals like Sales, Service, Marketing along with industry-specific solutions like Manufacturing Cloud, Non-profit Cloud, Health Cloud, etc. 

Leveraging the platform, enterprises are rapidly growing their business and driving impeccable customer experiences. Non-profit Cloud is one such Salesforce offerings that help global non-profit organizations extend their constituent relationships, deliver better programs, and accelerate the transformation into a connected non-profit. However, after working with multiple leading non-profits over the year, we have understood a few of the most common challenges are having a 360-degree view of each donor & donor fund management. 

Non-profits having a large donor base often found it difficult to have a holistic view of each of their donors, maintain end-to-end fund management process, integrate various external payment gateways with their system, and also offering a seamless user experience. How to get rid of these challenges? Salesforce Community Cloud along with Non-profit Cloud brings in a highly efficient, scalable and robust platform, using which non-profits can manage their critical business functionalities. 

Community Cloud is a collaboration tool that seamlessly integrates customers, partners, and employees directly into information, apps, and experts. It also offers some amazing features, using which non-profits can build an efficient donor portal. A donor portal works as a centralized system that connects donors, internal employees, partners, and third-party payment gateways for a seamless business operation.
