Salesforce’s New Grants Management Solution: Outbound Funds Module - #NonprofitDreamin 2021
In 2020, Salesforce announced the addition of a product called Outbound Funds Module (OFM) to their suite of offerings and it changed the landscape of grants management solutions. OFM is free and open source, and it customises Salesforce for foundations and other grant-makers, providing a flexible base for an end-to-end grants management system. Foundations can now leverage the full power of Salesforce’s customisable, extensible platform to create grants management systems that are tailored for their unique needs and sustainable as those needs change over time. Since OFM is new on the scene, there are a lot of questions: – What kinds of organisations and teams does it work for? Will it work for mine? – What other applications or systems (and costs) do I need to consider to build a truly comprehensive GMS? – How can I manage this work? What does my team need to do and decide ourselves, and what will we need help with? This session will answer these questions and include a demo of OFM. Attendees will walk away with an understanding of what the solution is, what organisations it’s well-suited for, and next steps to take if it’s a solution they want to consider. Speaker: Maura Hackett & Shari Carlson (Twitter: @ShariCarlson_) & Nell O’Connell You can download the session slidedeck here: https://nonprofitdreamin.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Salesforces-New-Grants-Management-Solution-Outbound-Funds-Module.pdf
