We are so into money. Buckets of it. Piles of it. All for our nonprofit clients. We’re like Scrooge McDuck about this stuff.

Anything we can do to give them the power and flexibility to get more cash to rock their worlds for the social good, we’re down with. And the enhancements we just rolled into our Soapbox Donations product do just that. Here’s a taste of what they have to offer to amp up online donations strategies, particularly if that strategy uses our Salesforce integration tools:

A few days ago, Jeff Barr in the Amazon Web Services team made an announcement that made us giddy: Simple Email Services (SES) now has a built-in bounce notification service. This seemingly boring announcement gives our Soapbox Mailer for Salesforce service terrific new powers, enabling us to provide you the first and only native Salesforce.com email marketing app that utilizes SES and this great bounce management functionality.

With a little architecture brainstorming provided by Rohan Deshpande on the Amazon SES team, and with the flexibility of the Force.com platform, we were quickly able to implement real-time notifications directly into Soapbox Mailer. This new feature provides our organizations the ability to get critical data to better understand their lists' effectiveness, and enables them to clean and purge their lists as needed.

Earlier this week, we shared how the good folks at the Groundswell Movement are achieving "massive growth" using Soapbox Engage to connect their website to their Salesforce account. One thing we didn't mention is that their primary website runs on WordPress. No fuss, no muss, though, because Soapbox Engage plays well with others.

All that goodness we mentioned about doubling their supporter list, getting thousands of online donations, managing events and offering an online search tool - all integrating in real-time with Salesforce - that is available for any WordPress user.

We dig the community we work with: smart folks committed to the social good who are seeking innovative ways to bring about positive change as effectively and efficiently as possible. Of course, we know that all the smarts and ingenuity don't get you too far without the funky dollar bill.
