This nonprofit-focused Salesforce stuff is pretty snazzy, don’t you think? People are building everything from online fundraising apps and wealth data sources to special migration tools and lots of other things to lower the cost of doing good.

Soapbox Engage and Soapbox Mailer for Salesforce have assembled several widely trusted components (Joomla and Amazon Web Services) into something many nonprofits need, like simple event signups, donation forms, and a mass email tool integrating with Salesforce.  These basic components can be quite a challenge to assemble and interconnect without a service like Engage.

It's the "little" things that can bog down a DIY nonprofit person, like mobile-friendly templates. Having many of these snags taken care of by the platform is a plus. I also like how Soapbox unobtrusively inserts data as Leads, thereby working more seamlessly with the many different Salesforce data models we've seen in the wild.

One other "little thing" that can drag down your organization is data hygiene. If you aren’t careful, you might not end up so happy with duplicates, staff turnover, and unused reports.

We are happy to announce that the good folks at Idealist Consulting have become the latest certified Soapbox Engage Partner. 

Idealist Consulting has helped over 500 nonprofits and higher ed institutions deploy Salesforce, including organizations implementing Soapbox Engage for online donations, event management, serachable directories, and form submission that integrate with Salesforce.

You're a consultant. You know Salesforce.com like the back of your hand. You use this power for good - not evil! - by working with groovy non-profits heaven-bent on crushing disease or feeding hungry folks or lovin' Mother Earth or doing any manner of creatively-inspired mayhem that cultivates the social good. And you help make that happen through Salesforce.com development.

That's you, eh? Sweet! We like you already!

We're two of a kind, we tell ya. And we should totally hook up.
