Free Salesforce Non-Profit Licenses
Last week on the “Some Salesforce Podcast” we chatted about possible FREE licenses for Salesforce Non-Profit. This week, let’s talk about how many free licenses you can get and what that application process looks like.
What’s Included in the Free Salesforce Nonprofit Licenses?
Thanks to Salesforce’s Power of Us Program, eligible nonprofits can receive 10 free licenses of the Salesforce Enterprise Edition—yes, the full version. This includes core CRM features that help manage donors, volunteers, programs, and more.
But wait, there’s more:
Access to the Nonprofit Success Pack (NPSP): a preconfigured set of tools designed specifically for nonprofit needs—think donation tracking, household management, and engagement plans.
Need more than 10 users? You’re still in luck. Additional licenses are available at a heavily discounted nonprofit rate.
Who Qualifies?
To be eligible, your organization must:
Be a registered nonprofit (like a 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(4) in the U.S., or your country’s equivalent).
Provide documentation proving your nonprofit status, such as your IRS determination letter.
Submit an application through the Salesforce Power of Us Program portal.
Once submitted, approval usually takes around two weeks. After that, you’ll be guided on how to activate your new CRM setup.
Other Things to Consider
Although the licenses are free; implementation, customization, and ongoing support may incur costs, especially if you use third-party consultants or advanced Salesforce features. Training, premium support, or advanced modules are not included in the free offer but are available at discounted rates
