Best Salesforce Apps for Nonprofits in 2023

For non-profit organisations, one of the primary concerns is keeping costs low while maximising donation potential. Online donation portals must be easy to create, easy to use, and flexible in the options they offer to your donors, while in-person events must be profitable but uncomplicated to run.

The applications mentioned on this list all work well together, making all of this possible for your organisation. With Brickwork, Click & Pledge, and DJH Consulting, you can do the following:

Manage all donations and their schedules, and make it easy for people to donate
Manage all fundraising events from within Salesforce
Manage in-person auctions from tickets through to end-of-night receipts

These Salesforce applications have the potential to reduce the pressure on your valuable volunteers and employees, while also increasing the capabilities for fundraising events and facilitating donations.
