The problem

Where the cost adds up

Per-user fees

Per-user fees that scale with headcount.

Every new staff member or volunteer who needs system access adds directly to your license bill, regardless of how lightly they use it.

Add-ons

Add-on costs for standard nonprofit features.

Capabilities that should be core to a nonprofit CRM are often priced as separate add-ons on top of the base license.

Consulting

Ongoing consulting fees for customization.

Because changes require a certified admin, many nonprofits carry a standing consulting relationship just to keep the system usable.

Renewals

Renewal negotiations that favor the vendor.

Salesforce sets the terms at renewal, and most nonprofits lack the leverage or alternative to negotiate meaningfully.

Independent user reviews for Salesforce NPSP are available on G2.

The process

How the guarantee works

01

Cost review across licensing and consulting

We benchmark your total Salesforce NPSP spend, not just the license fee, including any standing consulting or admin support costs.

02

Guarantee terms confirmed

The specific savings commitment is written into your engagement agreement before work begins.

03

Migration and custom system build

Data moves into a system with no per-seat licensing structure, built around your actual workflow.

04

Ongoing fractional AI leadership

Replaces the standing consulting relationship most NPSP users maintain just to keep the system running.

Questions nonprofits ask

Clear answers before you switch.

How does a custom system avoid Salesforce's per-user pricing?+

The system is owned and hosted by your organization directly, with no license structure tied to the number of users.

What's included in the cost savings guarantee?+

The guarantee is defined and confirmed in writing during the cost savings review, before migration begins, so the scope is clear upfront.

Do we still need consulting support after migration?+

Ongoing system changes are handled through the fractional CAIO engagement, which is designed to replace the need for separate Salesforce consulting fees.

Is the savings guarantee based on license cost alone or total spend?+

The review benchmarks your total NPSP-related spend, including licensing and any standing consulting costs, and the guarantee scope is set against that full picture.

What happens to reports and dashboards we've already built in NPSP?+

Reporting logic is reviewed during discovery and rebuilt inside your new system so the same questions your team asks today are still answered.

See your real NPSP spend, and what replaces it.

We'll benchmark your licensing and consulting costs together, not just the subscription fee.
