Happy Monday, Trailblazers! You’ve made it (almost) to the end of July, and I think that’s worth celebrating! The Trailblazer community has been a bit quieter lately, and I’m suspecting it’s because many of you have been out of the office on vacation. Regardless, I hope this has been a restful month for all of you despite the heat.

Great Ideas for Nonprofits Using Salesforce

Currently, there's no option to create or modify templates in both single and batch gift entry, unlike in NPSP where this functionality exists. Vote if you want to see this functionality added to NPC!
