Transform your organization with
our Salesforce QuickStarts

A QuickStart is an implementation designed for nonprofit organizations looking to become more efficient in their day-to-day operations using a central solution that can scale alongside them. Vera’s QuickStarts enables organizations to move from spreadsheets to Salesforce in as little as 6 weeks, streamlining their workflows and enhancing overall efficiency.

Why Salesforce?

Salesforce provides cloud-based Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software designed for nonprofits. These products support organizations in managing fundraising, grant administration, program delivery, and evaluating outcomes. They seamlessly integrate with third-party applications available on the Salesforce app marketplace (the AppExchange), like Vera’s Amp Impact, facilitating portfolio and program management, project delivery, grant administration, and impact assessment. With more than 60,000 nonprofit organizations utilizing Salesforce, they can effectively manage resources and amplify their social impact.

In the early 2000s, Salesforce launched the Power of Us Program, offering eligible nonprofit organizations free or discounted licenses to its solutions. Aligned with Salesforce’s 1-1-1 model of community giving, the program assists nonprofits in acquiring licenses at minimal or no cost to start their journey.

Which Salesforce QuickStart do you need?

We provide three different types of QuickStart packages for nonprofit organizations. Whether you are looking to improve the management of your incoming funds, build relationships and drive funder and donor engagement, manage programs and track daily project operations, measure impact, or report back to key stakeholders, our solutions below provide opportunities for you to refocus on what matters most, with technology driving your mission forward.

QuickStarts for Fundraising

Effectively manage your relationships with individual donors and institutional funders. Streamline your high-touch fundraising with a fundraising portfolio and donor profiles, use segmentation and source codes for mass market fundraising, and manage gifts with batch gift entry, designations, and soft credits.

QuickStarts for Program Delivery

Plan, manage, deliver, and track your programs and services in one central location. Design programs, plan projects, and create sessions and schedules. Enroll participants, track attendance, and provide personalized participant experiences and assessments. Prepare reports on program success and project effectiveness, and share impact with funders and donors.

QuickStarts for Portfolio Management and Impact Measurement

Transform your logical framework into actions by centralizing program, operational, and impact data in one system.  Set up logical frameworks, define indicators, track indicator targets and results, and visualize progress over time. Create programs and projects with implementation plans, track activities in Gantt charts, and monitor budgets and spending. Aggregate project and program data at local, regional, national, and global levels using Salesforce Report and Dashboard capabilities. Assess portfolio performance and share your results and impact with all key stakeholders.

Add-ons available: Experience Cloud and Incoming Institutional grants.
