Salesforce continues to deliver tools that help nonprofits do more with less. The Summer ’25 Release includes new features that boost flexibility, speed up day-to-day tasks, and improve engagement with donors and volunteers.

At BTH Tech, we believe nonprofits deserve world-class tools. Just like in our Winter ’24 feature roundup, we’ve reviewed the newest release notes to highlight what matters most for your organization.

Whether you’re managing programs, analyzing fundraising data, or simply trying to save time, these six updates are worth your attention.

Three New Features for Nonprofit Cloud

Enhanced Program Management Module

The Program Management Module (PMM) is now more flexible. You can create custom program structures to match the way your organization serves its community. Track progress and outcomes with greater detail. This change helps you tell a clearer story to funders and partners.

Improved Volunteer Management

We’ve all been waiting for volunteer tools in Nonprofit Cloud, and this release is just the first of many to build on this critical function. Matching the right people to the right opportunities is easier than ever. Use new tools to connect volunteers to shifts based on their skills and availability. These updates support stronger communication and volunteer satisfaction.

Donor Engagement Insights

Nonprofit Cloud now offers deeper donor analytics. Track how supporters interact over time. Spot trends in giving. Use this data to plan smarter campaigns and build stronger relationships. The result? More loyal donors and better fundraising outcomes.

 

Three Enhancements Every Admin Will Love

Salesforce Go: A New Setup Hub

Salesforce Go is your new command center. It shows all the features available in your org and helps you turn them on quickly. It also guides you through setup steps, making it easier to try out new tools without searching through documentation.

Faster Lightning Console with Deferred Tab Loading

When working in the console, only the active tab loads right away. Other tabs wait until you click them. This change speeds up performance and makes multitasking smoother. It’s perfect for service teams, case managers, or anyone juggling multiple records.

Smarter Flow Builder Tools

Admins can now build automation more easily with continued enhancements to the Flow Builder experience. Whether it’s using Einstein panel for guided support or ready-made templates, the tools to build Flows faster and better just keep coming! The Flow Debugger has also improved, showing you what happens step-by-step during testing. Even if you’re new to automation, these updates make it easier to get started and fix issues fast.

 

When to Expect the Summer ’25 Release

Salesforce rolls out major releases three times a year. Summer ’25 will launch in May and June 2025.

  • Sandbox Preview begins in early May 2025. This is your chance to test new features.
