Not consulting, although I do handle a few support tickets and am working on some projects with clients directly, but systemically so it benefits the most clients at one time. The big difference is that instead of bringing knowledge and connection back to one organization, I’m bringing it back to all organizations on Common Ground.

It has nothing whatsoever to do with my faith in the organization or my satisfaction with where things are heading. In fact, the organization has had an incredible surge in the past year or two thanks to both the rebranding and the efforts of my amazing colleagues. Why am I leaving FightCRC? Fight Colorectal Cancer is 6 years old.

From time to time, we work with consultants or outside vendors. . There is no bird's eye view for an organization. We don't want to track our time, since we're not working on billable projects like a freelancer or service consultant does. People in charge of the organization can look across all projects.

The organization I helped found as Colorectal Cancer Coalition in 2005 officially became Fight Colorectal Cancer on Monday, March 6, 2011. However, a small organization with a small budget can make some pretty big changes. She really understood the organizations. Absolutely positively not! Why did we do this? She got it.

I guess I'll be grateful for that, as it was my being vocal about my displeasure over the timing of the conference that introduced me to many of the people in the organization I hold dear today. In fact, this year we have NTEN Organization membership so there will be four of us at the conference.

Consultants, fellow nonprofit staff members, vendors, Salesforce Foundation employees. Before I kick back for the night, here’s some of my thoughts/impressions of the day. The nonprofit Salesforce community rocks. I love spending time with these people. Doesn’t matter. More great conversations than I can count.

Professional stuff: I am Vice President of Operations of C3: Colorectal Cancer Coalition , a colorectal cancer patient advocacy organization I helped start in 2005. Fantastic organization. My husband is a strategic services consultant for a software company. Sorry if you were expecting something else. Highly recommend.

Disadvantages: In the past 2 years, Salesforce has introduced more updates that benefit organizations that have a traditional account<->opportunity model than I can count. The more I think about it, the more I think I need to work with a consultant for the conversion. We can move later. That costs money.

In the 20 months since I left Fight Colorectal Cancer, I would guess that I’ve logged in to no less than 150 nonprofit Salesforce organizations. When trying to troubleshoot a problem, one of the first things I typically look at is how the organization has structured their security and sharing model. At the same time.

Over a year ago, I wrote a post expressing my frustration in evaluating project management apps for my organization. 50% discount for nonprofit organizations. We shared project timelines with our creative consultants who struggled with the finicky plug-in even more than staff did. Uses Salesforce event/task and account data.

I ended up using just under 7 billable hours of consulting support time. It was always a struggle before differentiating when a gift was from an organization or entity, and when it was from a single person. David Cheng at Idealist Consulting suggested that I handle the migration this way and he was right.

One thing I keep hearing over and over again is how frustrating it is to be from a small organization (under $1 million budget) at the NTC. You're sitting there in a session listening to folks who spend as much on a single campaign as your organization's payroll for an entire year. . We may not be able to afford you today.

I signed on with Idealist Consulting to support me in this project, and so far I’m pleased to say that I haven’t had to use as many hours with them as I thought I would. Salesforce default is to assume nothing, leaving it to the organization to customize things to their liking. Donations are named consistently.
