YOUR TOP 10 SALESFORCE QUESTIONS ANSWERED

We’ve rounded up the answers to the questions we get asked most often to help you use Salesforce to its greatest potential.

Technology is a topic with lots of breadth and depth, and somehow one is expected to know all about it, even if it’s not their specialty. Loan officers and program directors should be able to just do their jobs without having to become experts in various forms of technology, but that’s not often the case. There are lots of steps between novice and expert, though, and the more comfortable you are with Salesforce, the less daunting it will seem. With our help, Salesforce will feel more approachable, and before you know it, you’ll be able to get in there and customize those dashboards yourself!

Latest blog post from NWAF Program Director Karla Miller, "What We Mean When We Say We Fund Systems Change"

Grantees already know the work that leads to systems change, and their insights are shaping our funding.

The practice of listening to grantees and learning from them was central to the development of our funding approach in 2021. In the two years since, we’ve doubled down on this practice by making grants through open, meaningful dialogue with them.

In our latest blog post, Program Director Karla Miller describes what we’ve learned from grantees about systems change and why it’s so important to efforts that advance justice. And, she shows this through the words of three of our grantees who’ve embraced community-based strategies and overcome barriers, like outdated financial systems and cultural insensitivity.

The focus on systems change is driven by empathy, purpose, and hope.
