NGO Connect Feature: Badges
Saleforce’s NGO Connect (formerly named roundCause) is the gift that keeps on giving. It is the cornerstone in Salesforce’s comprehensive CRM offering – Salesforce1 for Nonprofits. NGO Connect has leapfrogged both the Nonprofit Starter Pack (NPSP) and traditional fundraising applications to become the long-awaited “next generation” solution that eliminates data silos, provides the much-desired “360-degree view” of constituents, and drives increased engagement and fundraising.
Heller Consulting has put together a list of the top 5 NGO Connect features in their paper, NGO Connect – Maximizing its Potential for You. So far, we have gone over Ease of Access and Viewing and Giving Summaries. Today, we are going over the NGO Connect feature: Badges.
Badges
Applies to NGO Connect only
NGO Connect comes with a set of standard “Badges” that automatically appear on qualifying Account and Contact records. Customers love these Badges that provide instantaneous visual cues as to whether or not a constituent falls into one of these categories. This is something that is often on an organization’s “wish list,” since it is not a common feature in legacy databases.
Some of these standard Badges are:
• Board Member
• Major Donor
• Volunteer
• Sustainer
• Deceased

About Emma Shipley
I have always held a passion for community involvement, fundraising, and volunteering, which has brought me in touch with a number of nonprofit organizations. During my time at Indiana University, I worked with the City of Bloomington Volunteer Network to connect citizens with their ideal volunteer experience while promoting volunteerism in the community. In addition, I spent the summer of 2012 working as a mentor for adolescent girls ages 5-15 at Girls, Incorporated of Monroe County. I received my degree in Journalism with a focus in Marketing and Visual Communications. In my free time, I enjoy live music, visiting farmer’s markets, trying new recipes, and exploring Chicago.
