What are Salesforce QuickStarts?

A QuickStart is a standard implementation, designed for nonprofit organizations looking to get started on Salesforce. Leveraging Salesforce’s Power of Us program, offering free and discounted licenses, Vera’s QuickStarts offer a cost-effective way organizations can ditch spreadsheets and get up and running on Salesforce quickly.

In the early 2000’s, Salesforce created a program to help nonprofit organizations get up and running on Salesforce solutions. It is called the  Power of Us Program and, 20+ years later, it continues to offer free and discounted licenses for qualifying nonprofit organizations. Power of Us is part of Salesforce’s 1-1-1 model, a commitment to giving back to the community. We can guide you through the process of obtaining free and discounted licenses to get you started.

Which QuickStart Implementation 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 portfolios, programs, 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.
