Nexus Community Partners is a nonprofit based in MN with a mission of building more engaged and powerful communities of color. They achieve this by supporting community-building initiatives that expand community wealth and foster social and human capital.

Challenges:

Nexus Community Partners needed a flexibile, customizable grant management solution that also included a reviewer portal.

Solution: Implementation of Outbound Funds Module and Experience Cloud

Nexus Community Partners engaged with North Peak to perform a discovery for managing their Open Road Fund initiative and the existing nonprofit-focused grantmaking programs in their current Salesforce instance.

After performing a thorough discovery, North Peak determined that Outbound Funds Module would be the best grant mangement solution, with the addition of Experience Cloud for the reviewer portal. Nexus was already using Salesforce Enterprise Edition and the Nonprofit Success Pack (NPSP), so Outbound Funds Module was a logical choice due to it’s affordability, ease of customization and strong track record for managing funding program requests, tracking disbursements and associated reporting requirements.

In addition to implementing Outbound Funds Module for grants management, Nexus engaged North Peak to provide Managed Administrative Services. This service includes training and general database support, as well as troubleshooting issues and providing strategic guidance around database best practices.
