The effort focused on two priorities, enhancing digital fundraising efforts and improving the volunteer management experience. In partnership with Heller Consulting, we developed a CRM ecosystem that placed <a href=\"https:\/\/teamheller.com\/resources\/blog\/salesforce-for-nonprofits\">Salesforce\u2019s Nonprofit Success Pack (NPSP)<\/a> at its center.<\/p><p class=\"sc-bQAcZf fujzHL\" data-testid=\"ripley-core__text-item__paragraph__component\" data-foleon-id=\"f7c65d10-c064-4f81-a05f-a8d10e864528\">Additional tools and functionality were then integrated including Volunteers for Salesforce to transform their volunteer tracking, FormAssembly to create custom volunteer sign up experiences, and Rallybound to allow San Antonio Food Bank\u2019s development team to improve the online donation interface.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div

With the integration of NPSP, Mr. Guerra explained that now his staff is able to connect volunteer records with donor records to get a more complete view of individuals interacting with the organization. Speaking about the data the food bank will have after waves of increased donations and volunteers, he noted, \u201cWe\u2019ll have great information about the donor and the volunteer and see when they are one in the same.\u201d<\/p><\/div><p>Calling on faith communities in San Antonio, the food bank created \u201cA Day of Prayer and Fasting\u201d for Good Friday through Easter Sunday. Using Rallybound, they created a fundraising landing page. Churches then created subpages complete with videos and sent those links out to their specific congregations, asking the communities to give meals they were fasting to those who are going without food due to economic hardship. The \u201cAll Faiths Fasting Friday\u201d effort paid off, raising more than $78,000. Individuals were also easily set up on Rallybound.
