Ally is a local charity that works to prevent and help survivors of human trafficking through providing them with education, aftercare and safe housing.

July 8th is Ally’s annual Move for Freedom event. This year, we will be playing pickleball! Pickleball is currently the fastest growing sport in America. It’s a mix of ping pong and tennis, played on a badminton sized court with a wiffle ball. The goal of this event is to drive awareness and raise funds to prevent human trafficking and support survivors of exploitation around the world. All proceeds that we raise will be donated towards their inspiring initiatives.

Have you ever wondered what it looks like to move from Raiser’s Edge and other Blackbaud solutions to Salesforce? Would you like to hear from industry leaders who have first hand experience in making that transition?

Join us on July 13 from 1 - 2:00pm EST/10:00 - 11:00am PST for our Blackbaud to Salesforce Eh? webinar, where our team of panelists including Karl Feltmate (Senior Manager, Stewardship and Donor Retention at The Mustard Seed) and Frank Lombardo (Vice President of IT and Digital Ecosystems at Canadian National Institute for the Blind) have a candid conversation about their experience transitioning their organizations from Blackbaud to Salesforce.

Hosted by Sterrin Bird, Salesforce Nonprofit Advisor, this session will no doubt be an important one to catch if you’ve ever wanted to explore your nonprofit technology’s options beyond Blackbaud solutions.

Through hundreds of conversations with nonprofits across North America, we’ve learned a lot about what it takes to get the internal buy-in and support for a technology implementation. In our experience, projects take one of two forms:

1) an .org gets started because a particular staff/department wants or needs to change solutions (ie. Director of Development wants to move from Raiser’s Edge to Salesforce), or

2) an .org has a mandate or opportunity to implement an enterprise technology platform with wide-ranging strategic impact (ie. there is Executive level/Board recognition and support to invest in the right technology to accelerate growth/impact). We will discuss both entry points and the common areas of buy-in necessary to get your project started.

Join Belmar’s Chief Executive Officer and Delivery Manager, Scott and Hua Ping, respectively, along with Salesforce.org’s Executive Advisor, Bernardo Sandoval, as they give you the play by play on how to leverage technology to create lasting change. See you on April 20th!
