Meet Our Salesforce Nonprofit Consulting Team
We've sat in your seat.
Before joining Clara Partners our team worked inside nonprofits, in fundraising, marketing, operations and donor relations roles at some of Australia and New Zealand's most respected foundations and community organisations. We know the pressure of end-of-financial-year campaigns, the complexity of regular giving data and the frustration of systems your team doesn't use.
That firsthand experience is why we do things differently. We don't just implement Salesforce and hand it over. We embed ourselves in your organisation, learn your goals and your data, and build something your whole team can actually use.
What we bring to every engagement
Sector credibility
Our team has worked with The Alfred Hospital Foundation, The Royal Children's Hospital Foundation, Climate Council, Uniting Vic.Tas, Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute and some of Australia's largest for-purpose organisations. We bring that firsthand knowledge to every Salesforce engagement across Australia and New Zealand.
A genuine long-term partnership
We're not a big agency with a revolving door of consultants. When you work with Clara Partners, you work with the same people throughout. We take the time to know your organisation, your data and your goals.
Technical depth
Between us we have expertise across Salesforce NPSP, Agentforce Nonprofit, Raisely, GiveEasy, Ortto, MoveData and Bridgit, our own native data automation tool. We know the nonprofit tech stack inside out.
