A Salesforce consultant’s role is not to simply execute instructions. It’s to guide strategy. That means stepping back and asking harder questions. Why does this process exist? Who benefits from it? Where does it create friction? If we redesign this in alignment with Salesforce best practices, how will roles, expectations, and accountability need to shift? Those questions point to change management.

The theme at this year’s Peer-to-Peer Professional Forum, held in Baltimore, Feb. 24-26, 2026, was, “Peer-to-Peer is a team sport,” and it truly delivered the gold! It was great to be back at the Peer-to-Peer Forum after missing last year, and I was reminded why I love this conference so much! 

When organizations choose a Salesforce consulting partner, the instinct is often to go big. Big brand. Big headcount. Big footprint. In the Salesforce ecosystem, bigger doesn’t always mean better.

If you watched the Super Bowl last weekend, you probably saw Salesforce’s high-profile advertisement featuring MrBeast and heard the name Slackbot loud and clear. The spot put Slackbot at the center of a fast-paced, high-stakes challenge, reinforcing one thing: Slack is no longer just a messaging app. It’s becoming the interface for how work gets done.

Salesforce success isn’t defined by how well a system launches, it’s defined by how well it continues to serve the organization months and years later. Ongoing support provides the structure, expertise, and foresight needed to keep Salesforce aligned with real-world needs. When done well, it turns Salesforce from a static tool into a living platform that grows alongside the people who use it.

Your nonprofit tech stack didn’t become complex overnight. This was the starting point of my recent conversation with Amelia Baumann on The Nonprofit Boost, the podcast from Double the Donation. The episode, “Leveraging Corporate Support for Fundraising Success,” explores how nonprofits can build the systems and data foundations necessary to unlock corporate giving, reduce hidden opportunity costs, and ultimately do more of the work that matters.

Since 2019, dozens of organizations, from small community nonprofits to large manufacturers, have shared their experiences working with Canvas Cloud on the Salesforce AppExchange. Every project is different, but the reviews tell a consistent story: collaboration, trust, and measurable results.

Canvas Cloud, a Salesforce Crest Consulting Partner specializing in helping nonprofit and mission-driven organizations, today announced the launch of FastTrack, an accelerator program designed to help nonprofits migrate from the Nonprofit Success Pack (NPSP) to Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud (NPC) quickly, confidently, and affordably.

Dreamforce 2025 was my first time attending the event in person! So much change has happened in the last 24 months in regards to Salesforce and in the area that Canvas Cloud serves most: Nonprofits. I was eager to hear about the new product releases before anyone else and to meet thousands of people who share a mutual love of Salesforce.
