Today, a mega-sized announcement came from the Salesforce.org world. The open source NPSP has grown up to become the world's most powerful CRM service for non-profit organizations, and today Salesforce.org has recognized this community-based success with the renaming of it as the Nonprofit Success Pack. We at Soapbox Engage celebrate this announcement by the Saleforce.org team, and are excited for the increased investment by Salesforce.org into the future.
I'll wax poetic in blog post in the near future about the incredible run the Nonprofit Starter Pack had, but for today, I'm excited to lift a glass and share a "prost!" from Munich, Germany. Here's to the future of the NPSP, and the growing success of our community!

Great Ideas for Nonprofits Using Salesforce
- Recurring donation recalculations should only count Posted and Pledged opps
Chris Heald (Columbia Foundation)Tracking failed transactions is fine, but when the NPSP includes them as part of roll-up summaries for contributions, it throws data out of whack. Here's an idea to fix this.
That's all for this week! Did I miss something? Have any tips or suggestions? Send all tip jar suggestions to me at cozimek@picnet.net.
