Great Ideas for Nonprofits Using Salesforce

1. Including Rollups for Fiscal Year on Donor Gift Summary Object
   Josiah Moore (Elevation Solutions)

   Currently, the Donor Gift Summary object in NPC only provides calendar year rollups, leaving fiscal year giving out of the box. Adding native fiscal year rollups would give nonprofits a more complete and accurate view of donor behavior, improve reporting, and help align Nonprofit Cloud with long-standing NPSP functionality many orgs rely on. Vote if you agree!
