The Future of Volunteer Management

Here at Golden, we believe in a world where...

  • Data flows automatically into your primary source of truth (aka Salesforce!) in real-time
  • You don't do any data entry, and instead spend time and energy on scaling your program
  • Your entire organization can access a complete profile and engagement history for all your supporters - contact info, volunteer history, donation history - all in one place...automatically
  • Your Salesforce has more data than ever before in order to get the full power out of all your tools (Marketing Cloud, Pardot, Tableau and more...)

So how do we manifest this utopian future? By empowering your volunteer team with Golden's award-winning volunteer management tools on top of Salesforce.

Why Golden is the best way to manage volunteers on Salesforce

Salesforce is incredibly powerful on its own, but when it comes to managing volunteers, volunteer coordinators demand a best-in-class solutions that meets their standards. Golden's  integration permits Salesforce users to focus on recruiting and retaining volunteers, rather than recording the minutiae of data themselves.

Every data point captured in Golden is automatically passed into Salesforce, ensuring that you get immediate benefits:

  • Immediate time to value: it's incredibly easy to implement and onboard new team members
  • Immediate time savings: Golden can save 90% of one’s administrative time by automatically updating volunteer records in Salesforce
  • Flexible and configurable integration: there's no need to customize your Salesforce to accept data from Golden because the integration allows you to custom-map Golden data to your existing architecture

When used with Salesforce, Golden automatically inputs contact information, updates registration and attendance, and provides volunteer feedback, all without human intervention. See this guide for instructions on downloading the Golden app on the Salesforce AppExchange.

 

Oh yeah - and with a bigger donor database and a complete data picture on each supporter's complete engagement history - that's donations PLUS volunteering - your fundraising team will love you.
