Rooted in your mission
Fractional Salesforce leadership for mission-driven teams
We're deeply rooted in the nonprofit world and we understand how your organizations work. We also understand technology. We align the people and process around your platform so Salesforce actually reflects how your team operates.
Technology should serve your mission, not the other way around.
Most nonprofits don't have a technology problem. They have an alignment problem: the platform doesn't reflect how the team actually works. We've spent 15 years in the nonprofit world and 8+ years in the Salesforce ecosystem. That means we start with your people and your processes, then shape the technology to fit. AI accelerates what we deliver, but the foundation is always understanding your organization first.
Services
What we do
We know how nonprofits operate because we've been part of them. Cliffrose brings senior Salesforce expertise to organizations that need someone who speaks both mission and platform. Every recommendation starts with your people and processes, then builds the technology around them.
Platform Strategy & Roadmapping
We assess where your Salesforce org is today, where your mission needs it to go, and build a practical roadmap to get there. Real plans tied to real capacity, phased so your team can actually execute.
Architecture & Technical Review
Data model review, integration architecture, automation audit. We make sure your technical foundation supports what you're building on top of it, and that every piece earns its place.
Admin Mentorship & Team Development
Your admin is capable. We help them grow into the role your organization needs. Regular guidance, architecture coaching, and a safe place to think through hard problems together.
Implementation Partner Guidance
Working with a systems integrator? We help you get the most from that relationship. We translate between your organizational reality and their technical recommendations so nothing gets lost.
AI-Accelerated Delivery
We use AI throughout our process to move faster and deliver more. We also help your team understand where AI fits in your Salesforce ecosystem and where it doesn't, so you adopt what's practical for your programs and people.
Hands-On Build
When the situation calls for it, we build. Flows, Apex, LWC, integrations. Architect-level development informed by the strategic context we already understand from working alongside your team.
15 years in nonprofit. 8+ years in Salesforce. We bridge the gap so your technology actually works the way your team does.
Approach
How we work
We sit alongside your team and figure it out together. The goal is always the same: align the people and process around your platform so your organization can thrive on its own.
Listen first
We start by understanding your mission, your team, your data, and the real constraints you're working within. The technology conversation comes after.
Build the map
A practical roadmap grounded in what your organization can actually absorb. Phased, prioritized, and honest about tradeoffs.
Walk alongside
Ongoing strategic guidance. We stay engaged, mentor your team, review the work, and adjust the plan as things evolve. The relationship is the value.
Why Cliffrose
The cliffrose grows on sandstone cliffs where water is scarce. It thrives where almost nothing else can. That image describes every nonprofit we've worked with, and it's why Luke named the firm after it.
Before Salesforce, Luke spent 15 years running experiential education programs across the Desert Southwest. Over 8+ years and 50+ engagements since, he's worked across architecture, development, and solution design at firms like Plative and Craftsman. That combination is what makes Cliffrose different.
