1. Credential Check
The Credential Check project helps nonprofits manage security and information checks (like working with children checks, police checks, and driver’s licenses) for multiple people and match qualifications to roles. This project started in 2024 and has evolved from a specific working-with-children focus to a generic credential verification system that can be used across different credential types.
Work performed at the Sprint:
- Refined the data model architecture with three main objects: Credential Type (master template), Credential (specific instances), and Credential Request (tracking request lifecycle).
- Created detailed project specification including an unauthenticated Experience Cloud submission flow using unique tokens for secure document collection.
- Built and tested the MVP, deployed bug fixes, and tightened the final scope for the proof-of-concept.
- Documented and committed all key components to the GitHub repository with implementation guidelines.
Next Steps:
- Build Lightning Pages and Flows based on the finalized specification
- Continue virtual collaboration to complete the proof-of-concept build
- Follow documented next steps in the project repository
Team members: Sam Clifton, Justine Mathieson, Gourav Sood, Ashish Maharjan, Kristyna Turner, Jennifer Cains, Justin Yoon, Jerry Huang, Katie Connors, Jeremy Fahey

2. Nonprofit Admin Journey Documentation Updates
This project focuses on updating and enhancing resources for nonprofit accidental admins, particularly beginners working with established orgs. The team is revamping the Agentforce Nonprofit (formerly Nonprofit Cloud) Recommendation Map and creating curated Trailhead learning paths that address the most common day-to-day admin tasks like user management, data hygiene, reporting, and page layout customization.
Work performed at this sprint:
- Reviewed existing Nonprofit documentation and restructured the flow into targeted categories: What’s Your Role, Level of Salesforce Experience, and Which Nonprofit Solution You’re Using.
- Identified Top 10 common admin tasks (User & Access Management, Data Model Understanding, Basic Data Management, Reporting for Leadership, Page Layout & Field Changes, and Security 101) and mapped each to relevant Trailhead modules, help articles, and enablement materials.
- Created comprehensive resource compilation linking Trailhead trails, Salesforce Help articles, Admin Skills Kit, and best practice documentation for each task-based learning pathway.
- Enhanced and formatted the Map content using Salesforce branding and prepared presentation deck for future Nonprofit User Group feedback sessions.
Next steps:
- Present updated documentation to the Nonprofit Salesforce team for review
- Publish to Trailblazer Community Group in place of the outdated recommendation map
- Create a new Trailmix featuring curated learning paths for the Top 10 admin tasks
Team members: Josh Girle Bennett, Karen Hendrickx, Maria Wigan, Michael Williams, Toni Tsang
3. Nonprofit Data Quality Agent
This project focuses on building an AI Agent that ensures data quality, completeness, and consistency across nonprofit Salesforce instances. The team identified a critical need shared across marketing, fundraising, counseling, compliance, IT, and service desk operations: ensuring that CRM data is correct, consistent, complete, non-duplicated, up-to-date, and compliant with regulatory requirements like NDIS/Healthcare standards.
Work performed at this sprint:
- Defined comprehensive requirements for a “Data Quality & Compliance Audit Agent” with user stories covering correct, consistent, complete, non-duplicated, and fresh data with time-based review triggers and validation checks.
- Developed detailed agent specifications focusing on four key data quality issues: duplicated data, incomplete data, incorrect data, and inconsistent data, with specific criteria, actions, and remediation workflows for each scenario.
- Established governance guardrails ensuring no data leaves the organization, human-in-the-loop approval on every action, clear audit trails, and explainable recommendations based on defined sources of truth.
- Created example scenarios including agent assessment criteria for record completeness checks, remediation options (auto-update from related records or assign review tasks), and notification workflows for account managers.
Next Steps:
- Build the sample Data Quality Agent based on finalized specifications
- Implement human review workflows with task assignment and notification features
- Test agent actions including assessment rules, remediation flows, and update logic
Team members: Julius Anuari, Oliver Rynn, Charmaine Lima, Christian Wong, Zohreh Vahedikamal, Matthew King, Noah Zheng, Harsha Kapilarathna, Janeen Marquardt, Bob Croft, Michelle Coleborn, Nicole Caldwell, Ammon Ho
4. Org DNA App for Admin Documentation
The Org DNA App will help certified Salesforce administrators, consultants, and freelancers quickly get up to speed when joining a new nonprofit org. The tool bridges the gap between being certified and being productive by surfacing local customizations, installations, clouds, and licenses that aren’t always obvious—helping users avoid breaking existing configurations with new changes. Unlike existing tools like OrgCheck (which drowns users in data), Org DNA focuses on what you need to know to be productive immediately.
Work performed at the Sprint:
- Scanned existing AppExchange solutions (OrgCheck, Elements Cloud, Org Scanner, oAtlas) and determined focus on customization intelligence rather than just health scoring, providing context for new admins to get up to speed quickly.
- Agreed on scope and target audience: certified admins, consultants, and freelancers working in nonprofit orgs using common clouds (Sales, Service, CPQ, Experience Cloud, NPSP, Nonprofit Cloud).
- Documented comprehensive app specifications covering 4 major domains: Org Footprint & Licensing Health, Security & Access Model Health, Customisation & Metadata Complexity, and Technical Debt & Risk Indicators with detailed developer specs for each area.
- Designed AppExchange listing example and began discussing UI/UX for dashboard with drill-down capabilities, sortable tables, and PDF/JSON export functionality.
Next steps:
- Publish app specifications to gather feedback or interest from other community members
- Trial ideas to develop a proof of concept using Tooling API, Metadata API, and REST API
- Continue to meet and discuss at future sprints
Team members: Lydia Sharpin, Meagan Marden, Lilan Dangol, Noriko Murakami, Zhihan Lin, Ayoe Kristensen
5. Peer to Peer Fundraising Best Practices
This project published comprehensive documentation and best practice guidance for nonprofits implementing peer-to-peer (P2P) fundraising strategies in Salesforce. P2P fundraising empowers supporters to raise money on behalf of nonprofits by leveraging their personal networks, whether through structured events like walks and runs or DIY campaigns tied to personal milestones. The team documented how to effectively model and manage these campaigns in both NPSP and Agentforce Nonprofit (formerly Nonprofit Cloud). Check it out!
Work performed at the Sprint:
- Defined key differences between Traditional P2P (organization-led, event-driven campaigns with teams) and DIY Fundraising (supporter-driven, personal milestone campaigns) with clear examples and characteristics for each model.
- Documented campaign hierarchy structure for both models using Parent/Child campaigns, including how to track teams, individual fundraisers, registrations, goals, and soft credits in NPSP/Nonprofit Cloud.
- Compiled best practice recommendations including platform integrations with CRM and email systems, visual indicators on contact records, dashboards for tracking individual fundraising performance, and task lists for internal relationship management.
- Published the comprehensive knowledge article live to the community: The Power of Peer Advice - All You Need to Know About P2P Fundraising.
Next Steps:
- Complete the regional integration sections for AMER and EMEA platforms at upcoming Sprints.
Team members: Brittany Neale, Kumari Smita, Uttam Tajhhy, Jane Ruston, Laura Branden, Julian Virguez
