Hi Nonprofit Community! Weekly Roundup - Aug 14

 

Hi crew! Lots going on this week - the Virtual Sprint wrapped up, new Pre-Release Readiness resources are out, Dreamforce is quickly approaching... and of course, so much more! 

 

FYI Time off: I will be heading out of office for the next two weeks, spending some very restful, recharging time in Montana with my husband, Fletcher. So these weekly updates will pause until I return the first week of September.  

 

Now, let's take a look at what's going on in the Nonprofit Salesforce world this week. Chime in on the comments if there are other hot topics you'd like to share too :)

 

What's new

  • New Release Info Available: Check out the Winter '27 Release "Goodies" (preview info) shared HERE and then Pre-Release post details HERE. Reminder: for nonprofits, keep an eye on @Nonprofit Release Readiness and for education folks, @Education at Dreamforce as the release team will share updates and tag those groups, so if you're in them and have your notifications set you'll get the updates!
  • Virtual Sprint Recap is live: See what projects participated in the Virtual Community Sprint this week, what progress was made, and more! See the full recap HERE!
  • New AMA dates added below for September!

Hi Nonprofit Community! Weekly Roundup - Aug 7

 

Team Update

 Before I dive into my usual weekly update, I wanted to take a moment to welcome our teammate @Natalie Larino, who's been working with us for the last 1.5 years and is officially full-time starting this week! Check out her linkedin post HERE and give her a welcome! Help me congratulate Natalie, because her going full-time means even more support for our programs, events, and everything else we do for you all. Lots of other changes in the ecosystem this week... but this one's worth celebrating!

Hi Nonprofit Community! Weekly Roundup - July 31

 

WOW... last day of July! Let's take a look at what's going on in the Nonprofit Salesforce world this week! Chime in on the comments if there are other hot-topics you'd like to share too :)   

 

🔒 ICYMI: Experience Cloud Guest User Security Reminder 

  • Salesforce recently shared an important update on securing Experience Cloud guest user access. If you haven't already, review the Trust Site post and this blog on protecting your data to validate your guest user configuration. 
  • While you're at it, this is a great time to make sure your org has a Security Contact set up and that you're subscribed to receive these kinds of security updates directly. 
  • Questions? Log a support case, or check out the on-demand video series on building a secure org. 

What's new

  • New webinars added below: Tableau+: The Future of AI Analytics (Aug 5) and A Reality Check on Agentforce Nonprofit - look for it twice this month, Aug 6 and Aug 20 (a popular one!)
  • 13 new LATAM Spanish-localized certification exams are here! Not nonprofit-specific, but sharing the update from the Trailhead team.

📌 Heads up: Nonprofit AMA schedule shift in August

  •  AMER and ANZ AMAs are happening earlier in August to avoid overlap with the Virtual Sprint (Aug 11–12) and my upcoming PTO (Aug 15–28).
  • EMEA AMA is the 3rd week of the month, as usual!

Hi! 

Where can I access recordings of, for example, today's "Tableau, MuleSoft, Snowflake, and Databricks Power the Modern Nonprofit"? 

 

Thanks!

Hi Nonprofit Community! Weekly Roundup - July 24

 

Hi crew! Happy Friday! We had a lovely chat this morning in Coffee Chat (our Friday hangout - open to all if anyone ever wants to join!) with a bunch of you. These are always a fun time of the week to wind down together - I get to hear what you're all thinking about, talking about, but also just time to connect. One moment we're talking about Chia Pets, the next @Dar Veverka is dropping knowledge about the percentage of households that are single-person (more than you'd think!).... Alright, now let's dive in! 

 

What's new

  • New Community Sprints announced! The Nonprofit Community team announced for events for the rest of the year! @Cori O'Brien and I are heading to Amsterdam (Oct 19-20) & San Francisco (Nov 9-10) later this year after Dreamforce, we hope to see you at one of our upcoming Sprints (these are kinda like hackathons)! Can't join in person? We have the Virtual Sprint (Aug 11-12) coming up too! 
  • New Hands-on Workshop for Premier & Signature Admins: Secure the Org: Find and Fix Vulnerabilities (ADX012). Not Nonprofit-specific, but wanted to flag it in case you missed it — check it out if you're on Premier or Signature. See the update!
