Nonprofit Success Pack community days, or NPSP Days, are community-organized and operated events that bring together users, contributors, consultants, developers, and supporters of the Salesforce.org open source Nonprofit Success Pack. Events are focused on empowering users to better understand how to use the NPSP to be successful.

NPSP Days are open to all from prospective users to current Salesforce users, administrators to developers, interested nonprofit executives to consultants, to supporters of any kind! If you have an interest in the Salesforce.org Nonprofit Success Pack, you're welcome and encouraged to join an NPSP Day!

Community days have been held in Phoenix and Portland, Oregon. DC, San Francisco, and Vancouver are scheduled and coming soon with additional locations in the works.

The Salesforce.org Nonprofit Success Pack matters. At Soapbox Engage, we get to see the difference it makes every day for the mission of the nonprofits we serve. And as a former nonprofit accidental techie, I am often caught up in thoughts of projects gone-by and how the Nonprofit Success Pack could have transformed efforts and increased impact.

Here are three scenes that often come to mind from this grizzled veteran’s nonprofit past. I humbly submit them, nostalgia-encrusted and mundanely personal as they may be, as emblematic of how the Nonprofit Success Pack has transformed nonprofit technology and why it matters.

We rundown the highlights of a YUUUUUGE release that adds Levels and Engagement Plans to the NPSP so nonprofits can be even more strategic in engaging with their supporters:

Behold! The Salesforce Nonprofit Starter Pack has become the Nonprofit Success Pack! We offer our take on the history of this insanely valuable solution for nonprofits, discuss names that might have been, and gush over the ways it empowers organizations to rock the world for social good:

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!
