Case Study: LeanIn.Org saves 2–3 hours per week and streamlines partner management with Salesforce for Nonprofits (SalesforceIQ)

LeanIn.Org focuses on gender equality with a little help from SalesforceIQ

LeanIn.Org, founded by Sheryl Sandberg to advance gender equality, has grown into a global community of nearly 700,000 members with over 25,000 Lean In Circles in 130+ countries and more than 500 corporate partners. As a small team scaling rapidly, LeanIn.Org struggled to keep partner contacts, activity and communications organized without spending hours on manual data entry.

By adopting SalesforceIQ (alongside Sales Cloud), the team consolidated spreadsheets and email histories into a single, collaborative system that tracks partner status and tasks. In year one they saved an estimated 2–3 hours per week on manual entry, benefited from predictive follow-up suggestions, and freed up staff to focus on nurturing partner relationships and expanding programs that support women’s leadership.
