Salesforce determines eligibility and grants the donated licenses through its Power of Us Program. We can guide the way.
What Salesforce powers
One connected system for the work behind your mission.
Salesforce gives daily users a clear place to manage the work while connecting the people, programs, gifts, activities, and outcomes behind the mission. The same trusted data gives leaders and boards a clearer view of performance—and helps donors and funders see the outcomes their support makes possible.
Programs & services
Run programs with less spreadsheet chasing
Manage intake, enrollment, services, attendance, milestones, and outcomes in one place.
Volunteers
Coordinate the people who show up
Track interests, skills, availability, assignments, shifts, hours, and volunteer communication.
Community & outreach
Stay connected to the people you serve
Organize households, participants, members, referrals, events, and the communications around them.
Grants & partnerships
Manage commitments without losing the thread
Track funders, applications, deadlines, deliverables, partner relationships, and required reporting.
Leadership & operations
See the whole mission clearly
Give leaders and boards trusted views of fundraising, program reach, capacity, volunteer activity, and outcomes.
What connects it all
One shared relationship record
A donor may also be a volunteer, board member, parent, partner, or program participant. Salesforce keeps those relationships connected so your team does not have to maintain the same person in five different spreadsheets.

Who Does What?
Salesforce donates the licenses. Lodestone helps make the system useful.
Free software is not the same thing as a working CRM. We help you choose a sensible first version, configure the essentials, and avoid paying for complexity your team does not need. You'll be able to keep building on this foundation for years to come.

A sensible launch path
Start small enough to understand. Build enough to matter.
01
Step 01
Confirm your eligibility path
We help you understand the Power of Us requirements and prepare for a clean start. Salesforce reviews eligibility and grants the donation.
02
Step 02
Choose a useful first version
We map the people, programs, fundraising, service, or reporting workflows that matter now—and leave the rest for later.
03
Step 03
Set up, train, and hand off
We configure the basics, move agreed priority data, test with your team, and leave administrators with a system they understand.
Basic setup
Choose only what the first version needs.
“Basic” does not mean generic. It means agreeing on the smallest combination of data, process, access, and reporting that your team can use confidently.
Users and permissions
Give the right people access without making every user an administrator.
People and relationships
Organize donors, volunteers, participants, partners, households, and funders around real relationships.
Programs and services
Track applications, enrollment, service delivery, milestones, or outcomes without forcing a generic process.
Priority data
Bring over the spreadsheets and records the team actually needs for day one, with a review step before launch.
Useful automation
Add only the reminders, routing, notifications, and handoffs that remove friction in everyday workflows.
Reports leadership can use
Start with a small set of trusted views for activity, capacity, fundraising, programs, and outcomes.
Nonprofit experience
Mission-driven work is more than donor management.
Our nonprofit work spans family assistance, conservation and education, community services, volunteers, donors, reporting, and the day-to-day work that keeps each mission moving.

Straight answers
A few things worth knowing before you start.
Are the 10 licenses guaranteed?+
No. Salesforce determines eligibility and approves the Power of Us donation. Eligible organizations can request 10 donated Agentforce Nonprofit Cloud – Enterprise Edition licenses. That being said, we've had a 100% success rate for the last 8 years.
Does Lodestone provide the free licenses?+
No. Salesforce provides the donated licenses through the Power of Us Program and makes the approval decision. Lodestone can guide you through the application process. Once approved, we help you choose a sensible starting point and turn the Salesforce org into a useful system.
Is the setup work free too?+
The license donation and the implementation are separate. Lodestone offers discounted services for qualifying nonprofits, with a clear scope and price agreed before work begins. Each year, we also select several nonprofits to receive pro bono implementation services through our Pledge 1% commitment.
What if we already use Salesforce or NPSP?+
We start by assessing what you already have. An existing NPSP or Salesforce org may need cleanup, support, or a gradual improvement plan—not a forced migration or a rebuild.
Do we need to implement every Nonprofit Cloud feature?+
No. A focused first version is usually safer and easier to adopt. We begin with the smallest set of workflows and reports that can make a real difference, then expand when the team is ready.
