Great Posts from the Salesforce Power of Us Hub

  1. The New Upgrading to NPSP V3 Group Jessica Langelaan (Traction on Demand) A group of awesome NPSP contributors created this PUB group to collaborate in making the upgrade from NPSP V2 to NPSP V3 easier. Another fantastic result of the NPSP Fall 2015 Sprint!
  2. Vote for Notes! Tracy Kronzak (BrightStep Partners) Grassroots organizing in the PUB to give more power to the new Notes object functionality. Get out the vote!
  3. Any recommendations for text messaging? Niyo Rathod (Silicon Valley Education Foundation) There's so many ways to reach out to your supporters, but text messaging is a scary world for many orgs. Until now. Read on and connect to your mobile supporters.
  4. What do we need to do to enable the nonprofit Starter Pack in the Lightning experience? Matt Freer (Quiet Garden Trust) Lightning is out, and organizations are excited to try it. But wait, what do you need to do to enable it?
  5. Relationships between two accounts Donna Whitig (BackOffice Thinking) What if you want to create a relationship between two Accounts? Guess what? This might be coming soon based on open source contributions made at the NPSP Fall 2015 Sprint!
  6. Developing a "Fundraising with Salesforce" certification course/exam Alicia Schmidt (salesforce.com) Salesforce U might soon include coursework and an exam that targets fundraising and development specialists. Learn more, and contribute your thoughts!
  7. NPSP version 3.52 went live on October 20 Jason Lantz (salesforce.com) If you weren't hitting the refresh button in your Salesforce org on this night, you missed out on the early excitement of 14 issues closed by the NPSP development team. Learn all the goodness in this new release.
  8. Account rollup is incorrect Mary Pustejovsky (Heller Consulting) Fiscal years, rollup fun, and gift amounts oh my! Help Mary figure out this issue and determine if it's a bug in the NPSP.
  9. How do others track non-monetary donations like time and supplies? Jacki Anderson (Central Minnesota Jobs and Training Services) You're telling me people don't just give your organization piles of cash in briefcases? Hmm. Here's some ways to track all the rest of those valuable contributions.
  10. Localizing the NPSP Mary Pustejovsky (Heller Consulting) People around the world use the NPSP, but for the most part, the NPSP doesn't speak their native language. A group of NPSP contributors want to help change that. Learn more about how you can help translate the NPSP into other languages.
