Idealist Consulting’s Commitment to Humanitarian Organizations
Salesforce has grown to be the largest nonprofit Customer Relationship Manager (CRM) in the world with over 30,000 nonprofits around the world using Salesforce today. From small human services organizations working in a single community to multinational NGOs and foundations, Salesforce.org provides tools to help organizations manage and measure their mission.
Moreover, the 1-1-1 model has provided access and impact to nonprofits that would not otherwise be possible.
Humanitarian organizations and Salesforce
What you may not know is that one of the first 50 nonprofits to utilize Salesforce.com was a humanitarian organization- American Himalayan Foundation (AHF), which began using Salesforce back in 2007. They were our client then, as they are today.
Organizations like AHF have trusted Salesforce for over a decade, making it the longest-running platform for CRM development within the Humanitarian space. It should be no surprise Salesforce was Named 2019 Humanitarian Company of the Year by the Red Cross.
The power of the Salesforce platform is leveraging the experience and familiarity that Idealist Consulting brings to Humanitarian organizations.
Our team brings wide-reaching experience when working with humanitarian organizations.
Our experience working with USAID
In July 2011, our CEO and Founder Rob Jordan was a pivotal part of Project Palestine, a joint project between USAID, CARANA, and Idealist Consulting to bring technical infrastructure to the region.
Idealist Consulting engaged in the training phase of the project, training Palestinian consulting firms on the implementation of Salesforce resulting in capacity building of the local Palestinian tech industry.
The two-week project took Idealist Consulting to the West Bank and the Gaza Strip and was recognized by The Secretary of State's Award for Corporate Excellence (ACE). ACE was established by the State Department in 1999 to recognize the important role U.S. businesses play abroad as corporate citizens.
Our team is well-versed in several mission scopes and relief efforts ranging from refugees, disaster relief, poverty to capacity building.
Our work with grant and funding consulting
Five years ago, Idealist Consulting helped develop a notable humanitarian organization, Airlink, through the support of Salesforce. The project was one of the first of its kind supporting and strengthening public-private partnerships (PPPs). This could not have happened without the financial support of the Salesforce Force for Change Grant. We supported them in the composition of their grant and provided counsel on how to win funding.

Humanitarian work is in our DNA: we have many staff members that have humanitarian work experience, including Red Cross, Peace Corps, and AmeriCorps.
