Community FoundationFunding for this grant was provided by the Edward K. Roberts Emerging Needs Fund of the Community Foundation of Sarasota County.

All Friends Network, a non-profit organization created to help individuals with disabilities create and cultivate long-lasting, meaningful relationships, is honored to announce it has received a grant of $3,600 from the Community Foundation of Sarasota County to maintain and more proficiently utilize CRM tool, Salesforce, to allow for improved communication, collaboration, and outreach resulting in increased growth of our organization and awareness to the neurodiverse community.

We are incredibly grateful to the Community Foundation of Sarasota County for the very generous grant awarded to All Friends Network. This grant will support our communication relationship management skills through improved use of Salesforce. With the awarded funding provided by the Community Foundation of Sarasota County, the use of our Salesforce tool will be maintained for 12 months with the assistance of a secured training program provided by Salesforce in order to utilize Salesforce more effectively and efficiently. By utilizing this training program our organization will be able to enhance our skills to this specific CRM tool to best apply it to our organization. By improving our skills and enhancing our knowledge in Salesforce, our organization will excel in providing prompt personalized responses to our clients, improve efficiency by providing proactive service, create a single database to store all relevant information for all team members, enhance collaboration, and build productive relationships. These improvements will result in an increase in membership and event participation rate and an increase growth in donor support, which will produce further outreach and awareness within the community. I am confident with the awarded funds to maintain our Salesforce tool with secured training specific to the use of this CRM tool, we can achieve these goals.

This grant will make a significant difference in the success of our organization and will allow further outreach to the neurodiverse community. We are so honored to have the support of the Community Foundation of Sarasota County and know that with their support, we can help to further spread awareness to the neurodivergent community and continue to gain support from organizations with similar goals.
