Deadline: September 10, 2025
Nonprofit organisations are increasingly recognising the power of AI to scale their impact, and Salesforce Accelerator – Agents for Impact 2025 is designed to make this possible. This transformative programme offers nonprofits funding, technology, and expert guidance to deploy autonomous AI agents through Salesforce’s Agentforce platform.
If your organisation is ready to harness AI to improve operations, streamline processes, and boost impact, this accelerator could be the perfect opportunity.
Overview of Salesforce Accelerator – Agents for Impact 2025
Salesforce Accelerator – Agents for Impact 2025 for Nonprofits is a tailored six-month programme that helps nonprofit organisations leverage AI to solve real-world challenges. It focuses on equipping NGOs with the tools, coaching, and funding necessary to implement AI agents, enhancing productivity and enabling more impactful operations.
The accelerator addresses a critical need in the nonprofit sector: while 74% of nonprofits see the value of technology, limited budgets and staffing shortages often prevent them from fully benefiting from AI solutions. Through this initiative, Salesforce provides a combination of funding, donated products, and expert consulting to bridge this gap.
