March is shaping up to be an exciting month in our non-profit Salesforce community. A huge addition of new reports added to the NPSP, the NPSP Community Sprint in Baltimore, the Nonprofit Technology Conference in DC...and who knows what we might hear on the Twitters!

To keep you pointed in the right direction, grab your explorer hat, pick up this compass, and follow me through the Salesforce world in this week's PUB Crawl!

We have a mantra that guides the development of our online engagement apps when integrating with Salesforce: stay true to the core. We do everything we can to leverage the functionality and data model inherent in Salesforce and the Nonprofit Success Pack (NPSP), only creating something new when necessary. This mantra means that Soapbox's integrations are designed to work with Recurring Donations, Opportunities/Donations, Payments, Campaigns, each NPSP Account model and a host of other elements that comprise Salesforce and the Nonprofit Success Pack. It also means that data winds up where the NPSP expects it to wind up.

There are a lot of reasons why we do this. And, with the release of NPSP Version 3.90, there are 71 more!

An amazing team of nonprofit experts in the Salesforce.org community just dropped 67 new Reports and 4 new Dashboards into the NPSP. They cover a dizzying array of common nonprofit scenarios across an insane number of aspects of the NPSP. And, since Soapbox places data where it's expected, they immediately empower our users to get even more out of Salesforce with their reporting and data analytics might.

With the temperature hitting 70F this week in DC, I'm starting to question the wisdom of ol' Punxsutawney Phil, who I spoke so glowingly about a few weeks ago. Come on Phil! Nonetheless, I will find a way to persevere and prepare for the early overtaking of DC by cheery blossom tourists. Also, if I must, I have a feeling this means nice lunchtime walks through Dupont Circle...burrito in tow.

My advice to you: if you're finding the weather to be unusually warm this season, make whatever you're drinking this morning on the rocks (a simple airport iced coffee for me today), and dive deep into this week’s Salesforce knowledge!

As many of us celebrate Valentine's Day, I can't think of a better way to show that special someone just how much you care about them...than by sharing the warmth of Salesforce knowledge. So push that bouquet of flowers aside, put down that box of chocolates, and enjoy some community goodness.

The U.S. is experiencing a political sea change with the coming of the Trump administration. Folks are animated. They’re marching. They’re signing. They’re protesting. And they’re donating. They are looking for ways in which to channel strong feelings about the way the world is changing, seemingly by the minute. And, in part, they are turning to trusted nonprofits as a part of that answer. What does it all mean for your nonprofit and its mission?

In this webinar given on February 9, 2017, we dive into statistics, strategy and tactics you can use to calibrate your compass and make your nonprofit more seaworthy in these turbulent times.
