Deep NonProfit Cloud Expertise for Thriving Nonprofits
Agentforce Nonprofit, (formerly Nonprofit Cloud and the NPSP managed package it replaced) is Salesforce's only purpose-built donor system — and the one most nonprofits inherit half-implemented, mis-configured, or stranded on a version they can't upgrade. Cloud Nexus has built, repaired, and migrated nonprofit Salesforce orgs across donor management, grant operations, program tracking, and the NPSP-to-Nonprofit-Cloud transition — without the consultant-speak or the six-figure rebuild quotes.

FUNDAMENTALS
What Agentforce NonProfit Is (And What It Isn’t)
Clear definitions to cut through Salesforce marketing noise.
NPSP = Nonprofit Data Model
NPSP (Nonprofit Success Pack) is a free managed package installed from the AppExchange that configures Salesforce for nonprofit fundraising and constituent management using standard Salesforce objects (Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities, Campaigns) plus nonprofit-specific components and automation.
It’s a nonprofit data model + fundraising toolkit that sits on top of standard Salesforce — not a separate edition.
NPSP vs Agentforce Nonprofit
NPSP = the long-running managed package for fundraising.
Agentforce Nonprofit = Salesforce’s newer industry solution with packaged apps for fundraising, program management, grantmaking, etc.
Salesforce steers new builds toward Nonprofit Cloud while continuing to support NPSP in the ecosystem.
