Agentforce Nonprofit Quickstart: Fast-Track Your Migration from NPSP

By: Idealist Consulting
4 minutes

Since its launch in 2023, Agentforce Nonprofit (formerly Nonprofit Cloud), the all-in-one platform for nonprofits built on the innovative Salesforce platform, has continued to evolve, reaching parity with the NPSP solution and even improving upon it with tools originally built for enterprise companies. For many, making the leap from Nonprofit Success Pack (NPSP) can feel daunting, and simply buying licenses isn’t enough. That’s where our Agentforce Nonprofit Quickstart comes in. It’s not just about standing up the product; it’s about setting you up for real success. Drawing on years of nonprofit Salesforce experience, Idealist Consulting’s Agentforce Nonprofit Quickstart combines proven tools, templates, and best practices to deliver more than a standard out-of-the-box solution, offering a solid foundation and a clear path to long-term success.

What is Agentforce Nonprofit Quickstart?

Our Agentforce Nonprofit Quickstart is a comprehensive and efficient approach to migration that gets your nonprofit up and running with Agentforce Nonprofit quickly while implementing fundraising best practices. Rather than starting from scratch for each Agentforce Nonprofit project, we leverage our extensive experience in the nonprofit Salesforce ecosystem and prior Agentforce Nonprofit implementations to provide a solution that significantly reduces implementation time while ensuring your system supports common nonprofit processes.

Powerful Features Included

As part of the Agentforce Nonprofit Quickstart process, our team will utilize pre-built fundraising user stories and requirements based on industry norms, ready-to-deploy configuration packages developed by our team, and reusable data migration scripts that transform your NPSP data to fit the Agentforce Nonprofit data model. These features will cut back on requirements gathering and speed up the migration process significantly. Getting more specific, the Agentforce Nonprofit Quickstart package includes:

  • Over 30 pre-built fundraising reports and report types
  • Custom flows for managing clean data entry for person accounts, organizational accounts, and contacts
  • Streamlined page layouts optimized for user experience
  • Nonprofit-specific opportunity customizations (removing standard sales fields and tailoring them for nonprofit use cases)
  • Full documentation of data mapping decisions based on best practices

While Agentforce Nonprofit Quickstart gets you up and running fast, clients still get access to the Idealist Way, our unique service delivery model, and Story Navigator, our Salesforce-native project management tool. This includes a discovery phase to understand your needs and workflows, using pre-built user stories as a starting point. This proven, efficient process - honed through years of nonprofit implementations - delivers a tailored, high-quality solution in a compressed timeframe.

Is Agentforce Nonprofit Quickstart Right for Your Organization?

While our Agentforce Nonprofit Quickstart solution can be effective for many, it's important to determine if it fits your organization's needs. Agentforce Nonprofit Quickstart is best suited for nonprofits that:

  • Are currently using NPSP (not NPSP 2 or very old/complicated implementations)
  • Can work within the Quickstart structure (no customization of fields, objects, automation, or page layouts) in an initial phase
  • Can dedicate time for discovery sessions and timely testing

Before we begin, we’ll set up a consultation with one of our experts to make sure that Agentforce Nonprofit Quickstart is the best option for you. If we determine that it’s not the right fit, we can create an Agentforce Nonprofit implementation roadmap to fit your needs.

Why Consider Migrating to Agentforce Nonprofit Now?

There are compelling reasons to consider migration to Agentforce Nonprofit. At the heart of Agentforce Nonprofit is a robust suite of out-of-the-box use cases tailored for nonprofit operations, helping you hit the ground running with best-in-class technology. Coupled with AI-powered innovation and enhanced integration capabilities, Agentforce Nonprofit offers tools that evolve, keeping your organization at the forefront of nonprofit technology.

Many organizations find themselves struggling with accumulated technical debt – outdated processes, inefficient workflows, and customizations that no longer serve their purpose. Migrating to a new system also offers a powerful bonus: a fresh start. You bring only what you need, shedding legacy baggage and aligning your system with where your organization is headed, not where it’s been.

For nonprofits planning expansion, Agentforce Nonprofit provides a platform designed for comprehensive operations beyond fundraising. By migrating, you position your organization to leverage emerging advancements rather than investing further in platforms with limited future growth.
