Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud has the deepest feature set here, and it is the one most likely to fit an unusual fundraising or program model because nearly everything can be customized. The Core edition, at $70 per user per month billed annually, includes the Nonprofit Data Model, the Nonprofit Toolkit and an accounting subledger, plus flex credits for AI, Agentforce and data, Slack Business+, Tableau Next and the Premier Success Plan. Advanced, at $125, adds a full sandbox, backup and recover, archiving, data detection and Security Center. The two Max editions at $285 add Agentforce for Industries, Salesforce Maps and a grantmaking suite. The cost of that power is complexity. Pricing is per user on an annual contract, so a large team adds up quickly, and most nonprofits will need a trained admin or an implementation partner to configure gift processing, reports and integrations. Smaller teams will get to value faster with Bloomerang or Neon CRM.

Who it is for
