Press Release: Idealist Consulting Becomes Preferred Partner of Salesforce Foundation
February 24 — PORTLAND, OR — Idealist Consulting announced today that it is now a Preferred Partner in the Salesforce Foundation Partner Sponsorship Program. Idealist Consulting joins Salesforce as one of only two Preferred Partners, a designation reserved for partners who have completed 50 or more nonprofit projects, have at least 10 licensed consultants and have maintained a 8.3 or better CSAT rating on the AppExchange.
Idealist Consulting is a long-time partner of the Salesforce Foundation and contributed to the original development of the Nonprofit Starter Pack. “We’ve seen tremendous growth and innovation in the nonprofit sector in the past decade,” commented Idealist Consulting CEO and Founder, Rob Jordan. “Nonprofits have hundreds of choices of consulting firms, and we’re thrilled to be recognized as one of the top-tier Salesforce Foundation partners. There can be no doubt without their interests, we would not have been awarded Inc. Magazine’s top 10 fastest-growing businesses in Portland.”
As a preferred partner, Idealist Consulting will be working closely with the Salesforce Foundation throughout the year on go-to-market activities to better support the growing base of nonprofit customers. In the next few months, this includes a joint webinar, Nonprofit Spotlight for Building Apps on the Salesforce1 Platform, and a joint Power of Us event with all Salesforce Foundation partners at the Nonprofit Technology Conference in March. Idealist Consulting will also be a featured author periodically on the Salesforce Foundation blog and will be partnering on other events and content throughout 2015.
