The nonprofit accelerator enables you to develop nonprofit solutions based on entities and attributes that nonprofit organizations commonly leverage for constituent management, fundraising, awards, program delivery, and impact tracking. These entities include but are not limited to donor commitments, designations, transactions, awards, disbursements, delivery frameworks, results, indicators, and benefit recipients. The accelerator includes Common Data Model for Nonprofits, sample apps, sample data, dashboards, and documentation.
In the previous release wave, we continued to evolve our offering at a rapid pace and include the most comprehensive and interoperable nonprofit data model available, allowing nonprofits to manage program delivery, beneficiary management, fundraising, volunteer management, and finance and operations while building to included standards like the global International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI) and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
In June 2020, we released features focused on program delivery lifecycle management from proposal development to case management to monitoring, learning, and evaluation. We delivered further refined Volunteer Management and the Nonprofit Operations Toolkit while extending the nonprofit Common Data Model to include the Humanitarian Data Exchange standard. We also added features across constituent management, revenue management, gifts-in-kind, recognition and benefits, award management, financial management, project accounting, gift processing, donor reporting, and business reporting.
For 2020 release wave 2, we continue to expand capabilities across constituent, donor and grant management, program delivery, finance and operations, collaboration, and measurement and learning to deliver nonprofit back office and frontline workers and volunteers with mission-critical technology that measures impact and builds transparency between organizations and their funders.
