Case Study: FIRST streamlines multi-year sponsorship tracking with Cloud for Good’s Salesforce fundraising solution

FIRST tracks $25M+ in scholarships with Cloud for Good

FIRST, a nonprofit inspiring youth in science and technology, was challenged by its previous Salesforce application, NGO Connect, which made reporting difficult and failed to automate the tracking of multi-year sponsorships and major gifts. They contacted Cloud for Good for a technology assessment to evaluate their options prior to a migration.

Cloud for Good migrated FIRST's data to the Nonprofit Starter Pack (NPSP) and implemented its Fundraising Package utilizing Donation Split. This automated the allocation of multi-year funds across different programs and budget years. The solution also included custom objects to track over $25 million in partner scholarships and internships. The result was greater end-user buy-in, with staff actively using Salesforce to manage sponsorships and cultivate new donors, allowing the organization to focus on expanding its reach.
