NPSP Day Oakland 2026 Recap & Resources!
We're back with another NPSP Day recap, this time from Oakland! On April 30, the Salesforce nonprofit community gathered at Preservation Park for a full day of collaboration and community connection. đ
This was our first time bringing NPSP Day to Oakland, and it could not have gone better! We had a fantastic turnout of 35 attendees, an enthusiastic and welcoming room, and absolutely gorgeous weather all day long. âïž
Throughout the day, one theme kept surfacing: nonprofit teams are trying to build systems that are both sustainable and adaptable. Whether discussing volunteer management, donor pipelines, data integrity, or reporting, attendees consistently focused on creating processes that can scale without overwhelming already-stretched teams.
Check out the full recap + resources!
We're incredibly grateful to the team at Preservation Park for hosting us in such a warm and beautiful space. Huge thanks as well to our sponsors, Idlewild Partners and Data Geeks Lab, for helping make the day possible!
Sounds like a great event overall. Itâs interesting how in the Salesforce nonprofit space the same challenge keeps coming up everywhere â people arenât struggling with tools as much as they are with building systems that donât fall apart as they scale.
That point about âsustainable and adaptable processesâ is basically the real pain in most orgs. Everyone wants automation and reporting, but without making the system so complex that the team canât actually maintain it later.
Events like this are usually more valuable for the conversations than the sessions themselves. đ
