sand agency

Using a people-first approach to research, implement, and visualize your nonprofit’s unique systems, consider sand agency your nonprofit’s personal {systems} assistant.

Are you stuck on what systems will benefit your org? And how many systems are too many? One segment of our work will be to whip up a white paper to help you figure out just what tools are right for you.
At the core of work together, we’ll decide exactly how - and why - to build out your systems to meet your team’s needs.
Understanding what you get from good systems is key to team adoption and motivation. (What’s a system worth if it isn’t used, right?) We’ll create expertly simple and manageable data visuals and summaries to make it clear that good data is worth viewing.

Services that support your unique org.

Systems Implementation

Salesforce is the most often implemented CRM for nonprofitswhether you're building from scratch or upgrading an existing environment. Every implementation is handled in plain language, with your people and processes as the priority. The result is a system built around how your org actually works, not the other way around.

INVESTMENT STARTS AT $25,000.

Fractional Systems Partner

Growing nonprofits often can't justify a full-time systems hire - and you shouldn't have to. A monthly retainer brings ongoing technical support to your team for a few hours a week, covering tools like Salesforce, Slack, FormAssembly, Zapier, and more. Think of it as a fractional systems partner, there when you need them.

SUPPORT TIERS START AT $4,000/MONTH.

Systems Assessment

Before optimizing, you need clarity. A system audit takes a deep look at your existing Salesforce environment: identifying what's working, what's not, and where there's room to simplify and improve. You'll walk away with a prioritized findings report and a concrete plan to make your tools work harder for your team.

INVESTMENT IS $7,500.

Good words about good work.

WORKING WITH SANDY WAS AN ABSOLUTE GAME-CHANGER FOR OUR START-UP NON-PROFIT. HER DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF BOTH SALESFORCE AND THE NONPROFIT SECTOR ALLOWED HER TO CUSTOMIZE THE PLATFORM IN WAYS THAT TRULY FIT OUR UNIQUE NEEDS. SHE DIDN’T JUST IMPLEMENT SOLUTIONS—SHE TOOK THE TIME TO EXPLAIN THEM, ENSURING WE UNDERSTOOD HOW TO MAXIMIZE THE SYSTEM’S CAPABILITIES. HER PATIENCE, CLARITY, AND ABILITY TO BREAK DOWN COMPLEX CONCEPTS MADE THE LEARNING PROCESS SEAMLESS. SHE WAS ALSO EXCELLENT AT TRANSLATING THINGS TO FOLKS WITH VARYING SALESFORCE KNOWLEDGE BASES. THANKS TO HER EXPERTISE AND GUIDANCE, WE NOW HAVE A MORE EFFICIENT AND POWERFUL TOOL TO DRIVE OUR MISSION FORWARD. I CAN’T RECOMMEND HER HIGHLY ENOUGH!

SANDY MAKES THE DAUNTING TASK OF DESIGNING AND MAINTAINING OUR NONPROFIT’S SYSTEMS FEEL EFFORTLESS (AND FUN FOR SOMEONE AS NERDY AS ME!). SHE IS A RARE PARTNER WHO WE CAN TRUST COMPLETED TO DESIGN A STREAMLINED INFRASTRUCTURE, BUILD TEAM BUY-IN, AND QUICKLY AND ACCURATELY RESPOND TO ONGOING ISSUES. SHE’S BRILLIANTLY ORGANIZED AND DEEPLY COMMITTED TO ENSURING EVERYTHING ACTUALLY WORKS LONG AFTER LAUNCH. AND JUST AS IMPORTANT, SHE’S A JOY TO WORK WITH. OUR TEAMWORK AND IMPACT WOULD BE MEASURABLE WORSE WITHOUT HER PARTNERSHIP.

SANDY IS ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE PRACTITIONERS I’VE WORKED WITH IN OVER 20 YEARS. HER CHANGE MANAGEMENT AND OD SKILLS ARE EXEMPLARY. SHE’S A GREAT PROJECT MANAGER. IN MY VIEW, HER BEST SKILL IS HER ABILITY TO WORK EFFECTIVELY WITH TEAMS ACROSS DIVERSE PERSPECTIVES AND SKILL LEVELS, CREATING REALISTIC PLANS THAT DELIVERED THE CHANGE WE NEEDED.
