In these times, we do have individuals & organisations who are standing up and are addressing these issues. These enterprises are representing a plethora of causes ranging from poverty, anti-corruption, better healthcare, human rights and others.
A large number of these organisations are not for profit – which means that all surplus income after meeting the costs are diverted back to further the cause for which they stand for.
Building a sustainable enterprise is not easy and is more difficult today. However, these not for profits are doing a commendable jobs in spite of all the constraints and roadblocks by the powers to be.
These not for profits have a host of dynamic day to day challenges. Additionally, the administrative responsibilities, coupled with limited resources, often hinders the desired pace of progress.

The Not for Profit exists for the welfare of its community. More than any other, it is in this sector that the community needs to be involved in all aspects. It could be dissemination of information, encouraging them to keep their records updated or collaborate on initiatives. Using Salesforce, they can reach out to their community members with custom content based on their geographies, interests or any other criteria.

The core activity for a Not for Profit is to cater to the needs of its community members. Over a period of time, each member may have their own record history for each case. Tracking these manually is not only inefficient but also ineffective. The staff may end up wasting more time in paper work than actual care.
