Salesforce has long supported nonprofit organizations with its Nonprofit Success Pack (NPSP). While NPSP remains a trusted solution, many nonprofits are moving to Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud, which offers advanced functionality and access to Salesforce’s latest innovations. If your nonprofit prioritizes staying ahead with cutting-edge tools and minimizing technical debt, exploring Nonprofit Cloud could be a strategic move.
However, transitioning from NPSP to Nonprofit Cloud involves understanding key differences. These platforms use distinct data architectures, which can affect compatibility with your existing AppExchange solutions and system integrations. To help you make an informed decision, we’ve outlined essential considerations and how Cloud for Good can guide your migration for a smooth and successful transition.
1. Evaluate AppExchange Compatibility
For many nonprofits, AppExchange solutions play a critical role in their operations. If your organization relies on specific applications for success, it’s crucial to determine whether they are compatible with Nonprofit Cloud.
Start by reaching out to your AppExchange partners to confirm if and when their products support Nonprofit Cloud’s new data model. The good news is that most leading nonprofit solutions have already been updated for compatibility, and many cross-industry applications designed for other Salesforce Industry Clouds are ready to integrate. However, some may require additional development to work seamlessly with Nonprofit Cloud.
At Inforge, we’ve built close relationships with AppExchange vendors and have extensive experience implementing these solutions for nonprofits. Our team can help you navigate compatibility challenges, recommend updated tools, and ensure your technology stack aligns with your goals on Nonprofit Cloud.
2. Understand the Impact on Your Technology Stack
Migrating to Nonprofit Cloud involves more than just moving data—it requires reconfiguring system integrations. Whether you’re connecting Salesforce to an accounting platform, data warehouse, or marketing tools like Marketing Cloud, integration points from NPSP will need to be rebuilt in Nonprofit Cloud.
This process can pose challenges, including system downtime, disrupted operations, and potential risks like lost data or errors in tracking donations. For nonprofits that depend on real-time data to manage donations and engage constituents, it’s vital to carefully plan for downtime and communicate its impact to your teams.
Once your migration is complete, ensure your new system is fully operational before adding live donation data or reactivating key integrations. Proper planning and expert support can help you minimize disruptions and safeguard your organization’s revenue streams during the transition.
