Have you had a chance to read the recent announcement from Salesforce on the new Nonprofit Cloud for Grantmaking? As we’ve gotten hands-on with this new Salesforce.org offering, we have identified four ways in which Amp Impact can bolster Nonprofit Cloud for Grantmaking and provide organizations with opportunities to improve efficiency, gain insights into grant performance, and enhance the grantee experience.
1. Impact Reporting and Analysis
Amp Impact extends Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud for Grantmaking by providing outcome and impact reporting functionality that enables grantmakers to view the impact of their funding for a single grant, a grant program, or across their entire portfolio. Grantees can set targets for indicators during the application process, then report results throughout the life of the grant using Excel templates for offline collaboration.
2. Frameworks
Amp Impact can further extend Nonprofit Cloud for Grantmaking by enabling grantmakers to manage their program frameworks in Salesforce. Grantmaking teams can define how their funding will achieve desired objectives, outline how they’ll measure progress using indicators, and track grant-level contributions toward those objectives. Grant-level Frameworks can also be collaborated on by grantees using Experience Cloud.
3. Risk Management
Amp Impact’s Risk Management functionality with Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud for Grantmaking allows grantmakers to proactively identify and monitor risks for individual grants, a grant program, or across their portfolio, working collaboratively with grantees to develop mitigation strategies and plan and track specific risk response actions.
4. Submissions
Amp Impact can also extend Nonprofit Cloud for Grantmaking by enabling organizations to easily manage templates for grant application forms, grantee narrative reports, assessments, and other forms. The Submissions functionality provides a flexible form builder that non-system admin users like Portfolio Managers can use to manage, clone, and modify form templates.
Amp Impact and Salesforce Innovations
As a Salesforce AppExchange Solution, Amp Impact already provides extended capabilities when integrated with existing Salesforce.org products, such as Outbound Funds, PMM, and NPSP. Amp Impact features are compatible with any standard or custom objects, so they can be used on Nonprofit Cloud products or solutions built on the Sales or Service Cloud. All Amp Impact features are also fully available in Experience Cloud, so grantees and grantmakers can effectively collaborate on grant-level data.
