Case Study: Teach For America achieves stronger relationships and expanded educational opportunities with Salesforce for Nonprofits

Teach For America leverages Salesforce, Maximizes Relationships to Expand Educational Opportunities

Teach For America, a national nonprofit that places teachers in low-income communities and supports a network of 11,000 teachers, 32,000 alumni, and 2,500 staff across 48 regions, faced the challenge of coordinating partnerships with schools, districts, nonprofits, and supporters to expand educational opportunities for children in poverty. The organization needed better ways to capture relationship data, streamline application and case management, recruit and engage alumni, and listen to public and social conversations about education.

By adopting Salesforce products (Sales Cloud, Marketing Cloud, App Cloud, Salesforce1 Mobile App, and Chatter), Teach For America centralized data, improved analytics and dashboards, enabled mobile recruiting in the field, and ramped up social monitoring and outreach. The result was faster, more coordinated recruiting and application management, measurable increases in alumni engagement, real‑time insights for staff, and stronger community connections to help scale their impact.
