Nonprofit Data Management Helps Fight Human Trafficking
Free the Slaves uses Salesforce Nonprofit Success Pack to Support the Fight
July 30th was World Day against Trafficking in Persons, where the UN aims to create awareness about human trafficking and worldwide efforts to defeat this scourge.
Free the Slaves was founded in 2000 – a time in which slavery was outlawed everywhere, but not eradicated. Over the past 18 years, our society has come to understand that slavery and traffickers still exist around the world and that our daily lives and creature comforts can be tainted by horrific practices and products made possible by slave labor. Free the Slaves’ mission is to liberate slaves and change the conditions that allow slavery to persist. Fíonta and Free the Slaves’ small, but mighty internal team worked together to implement Salesforce and migrate data from a legacy system.
From Global Voices to Independent Research
Founded in 1922, the Chicago Council on Global Affairs is an independent, nonpartisan membership organization that provides insight on critical global issues. The Council migrated its email marketing from Predictive Response to Pardot, which is deeply integrated with their Salesforce CRM. Supported by a bi-directional sync with Salesforce, the Council is able to quickly segment its audience by myriad criteria within Salesforce and Pardot.
