Issue 133

Another week, and another NPSP Day in the history books as NPSP Day Toronto wrapped up last week in a when-will-spring-get-here quick tour of Canada. My penguin traveling companion was thoroughly confused after our stop in New Orleans last week.

This week, it's off to the Salesforce World Tour in New York, where I'm looking to reconnect with good friends in the Big Apple, and get the energy going for a few weeks of long-distance NPSP Day travel to come. For now, kick off your shoes in first class and settle in for a round of knowledge here in the PUB Crawl!

Great Posts from the Salesforce Power of Us Hub

1. How do nonprofits structure campaigns?
   Courtney Delaney (Northern Forest Center)

   The Campaign object can have this almost mysterious everything-to-everyone value to it. Is there a "right" way to leverage it in our non-profit world?

2. Jumpstart AppExchange Product Development with Salesforce.org's Open Source Tool
   Jace Bryan (Salesforce.org)

   Some of the best development work in the Salesforce.com community comes from the excellent Salesforce.org engineering team...including this gem.

3. Anonymize contacts
   Aryen Pellikaan (g-company)

   Might it be possible not to delete a Contact's record, but rather just anonymize the personally identifiable information?

4. Using NPSP to manage customers and product sales
   Anna Havard (CIWM)

   Looking for advice and case studies on using the NPSP for selling products and managing customers, rather than managing volunteers and taking donations.

5. Higher Ed Summit Recordings
   Lizzy Roberts (Salesforce.org)

   The Higher Ed Summit team has now produced more than 140 videos for you to view. Someone get me an XXL popcorn and as many Red Vines as possible.

6. How to use NPSP to manage grants given?
   Jacque Waggoner (Hunter's Hope)

   Is it possible to use the NPSP out-of-the-box to record grants that your organization distributes?

7. Integrating Salesforce with a Data warehouse
   Javi Diaz (Médecins sans Frontières)

   If you've got more data than specks of sand on a beach, how can you best store this data alongside your Salesforce org?

8. Too many groups!
   Maureen Saringer (University of North Texas)

   With two big Salesforce communities, including the Power of Us Hub and the Trailblazer Community, under which should you put your best non-profit and higher ed questions?

Great Ideas for Nonprofits Using Salesforce

   How about we remove a bit of the confusion and change the NPSP related list label for the Primary Contact lookup on an Opportunity?
