SubscribeI’m happy to announce that GoodDogz.org did indeed receive a donated copy of Salesforce.com with 10 enterprise licenses - a retail value of $11K per year. It was easy and we are thrilled as it will most definitely help us manage our donors. So, if you have a non-profit, give it a try! It’s worth the 15 minutes it will take you to submit the paperwork.
I received an email from Salesforce.com. After you complete your registration for the trial period, you will receive an email with instructions for receiving your free license. Here’s what you have to do…
1. Attend the weekly nonprofit demo!
Attend the weekly Tuesday morning webinar to learn more about the functionality and potential of the application.
2. Eligibility
Verify that your organization meets our eligibility criteria.
3. Ensure you have a free 30 day trial
If you have not created a trial through the Foundation’s website, click here, where you will agree to an online copy of our Master Subscription Agreement and be able to choose between our generic or nonprofit template of the Salesforce.com application. Please note: If you mistakenly signed up on the company’s website, you will need a unique email address that is not associated with another salesforce.com user name in order to successfully create a nonprofit trial.
4. Documentation
Fax your trial account username as well as your organization’s government issued charitable status documentation to the Salesforce.com Foundation office in your region.

5. Next Steps
You will receive a response from the Salesforce.com Foundation in 3 - 5 business days if your organization has qualified for a license donation. Should you qualify, your trial account will become your fully activated Salesforce account.
Today a colleague informed me that Salesforce.com has a non-profit program which offers a free software account for qualifying organizations. This is a robust CRM that is used effectively by many large businesses. I signed up for an account which gave me a 30-day trial. I’m going to call the company tomorrow to find out whether we received the free account because that wasn’t particularly clear. My friend mentioned that this offer is for a limited time, so they may be discontinuing it. So sign-up now! I’ll let you know whether we actually received the free version. Check it out!
