Nonprofits NYC Comments http://usergroups.salesforce.com/nonprofitsnyc/ We get together as nonprofit organizations to exchange ideas and best practices, and to learn about resources to improve operations. The goal of this group is to create a community of people with similar interests in order to learn information to help us better fulfill our organizations' missions- and maybe even to have some fun! en-us 2009-10-30T07:54:24+00:00 Ed Altman comments on "September User Group Meeting" http://usergroups.salesforce.com/nonprofitsnyc/2009/08/september-user-group-meeting.html#c6a00d83451cfb869e20120a5986bd2970c Please consider this my RSVP as well.

It is designed as the anti-group application, focusing almost exclusively on people. So, if you post on a wall of a group or an organization page--it doesnt show up in your live feed--only posts to other peoples walls show up. JWA has two groups (see, for instance, Jewesses with Attitude, one page, one cause, and we had to create the dead-for-hundreds-of-years glikl bas Judah to have a real person through whom to funnel our twitter feed. Glikl also administers our business page, lord help also. (Actually, in her time she was a pretty good business person.) We are focusing on having a business page and a cause (the cause is mentioned on the business page), and using groups for transient stuff. In both cases, the only mentions that show up in peoples live feeds are when they join, and for most people joining a group or becoming fans of a page is the limit of activity. For both groups and pages you can upload photos, enter events, and email everyone who is a member. Which is least useless? Hell if I know. ari This is from my friend Ari, the maven:

Almost all databases are made by management folks who want to look good reports focus on mgmt and mgmt goals. They dont help clients. It is so frustrating the whole stuffed animal, team building bs. If clients needs were prioritized, if clients and front line case managers designed databases, theyd look really different.

After speaking with Vertical Response we found that the non-profit version of salesforce doesnt integrate well with their services and would result in many account duplicates once donations began coming in. Did anyone else have this issue? Thanks for the information.

Once a month, NPOs who are using Salesforce get together to show how theyre using it and talk about that. Its definitely worth going to, especially if you need some help because you can talk to other people. Marie, this is the Salesforce Nonprofit user group.
