Salesforce.com NonProfit Edition - Webinars
In case you’re interested in learning about Salesforce’s support of nonprofits through its product donation program, they conduct weekly live webinars where you can hear about the program from a Foundation member, and then see a live demo of Nonprofit Edition.
New Salesforce.com NonProfit Partner: Acteva
A friend just told me that Acteva, the company that helps people register and track RSVPs for meetings and other sorts of events, is now part of the Salesforce.com NonProfit Partner Program (aka “Power of Us”).
Salesforce.com for Non-Profit Organizations: Entity Relationships
The wonderful individuals that contribute their time to organically improve Salesforce’s fit with nonprofits is amazing. The latest example of this is Steve Wright’s posting of the “ER” diagram (or ERD, or entity relationship diagram) on the NonProfit section of Developer.Force.com, for the latest NonProfit Starter Pack (aka NPSP). This diagram helps you understand how the Salesforce objects relate to each other. Enjoy below!
Salesforce.com: # 55 on Fortune Magazine’s 2009 100 Best Companies to Work For
I flipped open my latest paper copy of Fortune today and saw that Salesforce.com is listed as #55 on the 100 Best Companies to Work For list. Congratulations! (I know, they probably wanted to be at the #1 spot as folks there take achievement in all areas so seriously, but this is still significant and they should pat themselves on the back.)
Fortune cited Salesforce’s 1-1-1 corporate philanthropy model as particularly noteworthy, and I’d agree. (I just hope that other companies adopting this model stay true to their word, even in tough times like this.)
