Once on this new page, everything you are looking for will be near the middle of the page. You
will find 3 important information points.
The first is the information line and chat bar (circled below). There are people at the other
end of those lines that are waiting to help you, if you have any questions.
The second is the “TRY IT NONPROFIT (30 DAYS FREE). This is how you will receive
access to the Salesforce.com platform. You will have to start a free trial and then submit your
application to continue as a nonprofit/no-cost user. The tab to start the application is just
