Nonprofit processes mapped to solution areas
How Agentforce Nonprofit maps nonprofit work to its solution areas: the four Fundraising apps for operations, mass-market and high-touch fundraising, the program and case management tools, Grantmaking for funders, and the shared features such as Accounting Subledger and the Timeline component.

What the exam expects
- Read every question at the exam's baseline: questions "align to the Winter '25 release" and cover only the integrated platform solution, Agentforce Nonprofit, not the managed packages (Exam Guide). Features this guide labels Summer '25 or later are current product, not baseline answers.
- Map a nonprofit's business process (gift processing, appeals, major gifts, service delivery, case work, impact reporting, grant giving) to the Agentforce Nonprofit solution area that serves it.
- Choose the Fundraising app that fits a role: Fundraising Operations, Donor Engagement, Philanthropy & Partnerships or Fundraising Strategy.
- Match mass-market and high-touch fundraising strategies to their tools (campaigns and outreach source codes versus Actionable Lists donor portfolios).
- Pick the program and case management tools a service model actually needs, and recognise when Grantmaking is the right offering.
- Explain the business value of one platform, and why moving from NPSP is a migration rather than an upgrade.
- Key terms: solution area (Fundraising, Program and Case Management, Outcome Management, optional Grantmaking); mass-market fundraising (many donors reached through appeals); high-touch fundraising (major gifts built on individual relationships); shared features (Industries and platform tools available across areas); single source of truth (one system holding stakeholder data).
