Is Salesforce Really Free for Nonprofits?

While Salesforce Nonprofit Success Pack and Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud may offer free trial periods or limited free user accounts, most nonprofits find that the true costs stack up quickly.

Done with hidden costs and outdated corporate technology? Instil's modern platform is built with cutting-edge technology and designed by expert architects for the rapidly evolving nonprofit landscape.

Overview

The Hidden Costs of Salesforce for Nonprofits

Leading nonprofit technology consultants recommend planning for $10,000 in migration costs (for mid-sized nonprofits), in addition to hiring a Salesforce consultant to set up your database and make it usable for your organization.

Adding additional user accounts will also cost $432 per year, and any necessary add-on functionality (such as the ability to build automations or send an email to a list above 5,000 people) will further increase your cost.

According to Idealware's 2020 Report on Low-Cost Fundraising Software, "The flexibility, configurability, and power of Salesforce provides a great deal of potential,
but it requires training to set up and customize the system for your needs and can pose challenges for non-technical users new to the system.
