Ah, the joy of a warm spring day in an election season. At least that's what my Pacific Northwest friends have been telling me as multiple weeks of Seattle-like weather sweeps through the nation's capital. No worries for you, though, as that's just mean more coffee shop time for me to curate the largest PUB Crawl edition in the history of humanity!
Brace yourselves, friends. I'd recommend topping of your beverage before starting.
Don't forget, you can have the goodness of the PUB Crawl delivered into your inbox each Monday morning by subscribing today!

- Multiple Year Donations
Daniel Sanoff (Chabad on Fulton)Incredibly, large donors don't show up with gameshow sized checks in hand for immediate deposit. Frustrating, right? So what's the best way to record big opportunities that may have payments in the form of standard sized checks over time. Also, minus a gameshow host.
- Social Media Best Practices for Nonprofit Organizations
Cheryl Timoney (Saleforce.org)Incredibly, taking photos of your lunch doesn't correlate to a spike in social media traffic. Even if it's a burrito (which I personally find crazy). Instead, I recommend taking a page from this great Salesforce playbook created by Jacqueline Antworth.
- Best use of Campaigns
Beth Winton (Lake Avenue Community Foundation)Campaigns are so flexible, sometimes it's good to have a dose of best practices tossed on them. When it comes to campaigns you have every year, what's the best way to store them in Salesforce?
- Dreamforce 2016 Registration is Live
Marc Baizman (Salesforce.org)Once a year, 100,000+ Salesforce users come together for an annual party. I mean conference. And at said conference, there is much knowledge sharing, lessons learned, etc. Supposedly there are great after-parties too. Ready to join 8,000+ non-profiteers for a week in San Francisco? Get you discounted tickets today!
- Nonprofit Starter Pack Evangelism
Adam Kramer (KELL Partners)It just so happens that at least a few of us are in the megaphone making business, and are having a blowout giveaway. Come join Adam, myself, and others eager to clear the shelves to put these to good use with Nonprofit Starter Pack evangelism!
- When is NPSP V4 going to come out (roughly)?
Michca Morris (The Landmark Trust)A great open source architect once told me that he always responded with the same answer whenever anyone asked him when the next version of software would be released: "Sunday". Here's a quite a bit more helpful answer for our own open source leadership.
- When did you first get involved in the work of nonprofits?
Joni Martin (Now IT Matters)If you've ever wondered "what would someone to be so crazy as to commit their career to the service of non-profits", I have just the thread for you. Learn the history and passion of some of our community's members, and share your story!
- What is the impact on NPSP of Summer 16 new feature Contact with Multiple Accounts which overlaps with Affiliate?
Michca Morris (The Landmark Trust)The NPSP was a bit ahead of the pack when it included Affiliations to its data model. Now with Salesforce's core platform including the ability to have multiple Accounts affiliated with one Contact, how might that shape the future of Affiliations in the NPSP?
- Donations without a contact or account e.g. charity collection boxes
Rachel Adshead (Spear)If your organization collects anonymous cash donations, which Account would you record that batch of donations? Should you even store this in Salesforce at all?
- 1-to-1 model, NPSP v3, and state/country picklists?
Missy Longshore (Longshore Consulting)Addresses have all sorts of fun ways to be recorded, so consistency is always nice. Here's some thoughts about managing them in the NPSP v3.
- NPSP Advisory Board Meeting Minutes - May 3, 2016
Ryan Ozimek (Soapbox Engage)Notes from the NPSP Advisory Board meeting where we talked about all the things NPSP. What things, you ask? All of them. It's worth the skim to see what's happening!
Great Events for the Salesforce Nonprofit Community
- Salesforce World Tour London on Thu, May 19

- HUB Office Hours on Fri, May 20 at 12pm ET
Caroline Renard (Technology Interpreter for Arts Groups)It's been a week, so I have a feeling your itching for another HUB Office Hours, right? Guess what? We have Sara Chieco, Karen Fitton, and Ashima Saigal to help make everything better. No pressure, friends.
That's all for this week! Did I miss something? Have any tips or suggestions? Send all tip jar suggestions to me at cozimek@picnet.net.
Keep soaking up the goodness!
Your barkeeper,
