Question 1
IntermediateNonprofit Cloud Product Configuration · People Management Settings (Contacts, Accounts, Households)
A consultant is designing a solution for a global relief organization that operates in 50 countries. The organization requires a complex account structure where individual donors are tracked as Households, but corporate partners and foundations are tracked as organizational accounts. Additionally, the organization needs to track the relationships between board members (Contacts) and the corporations (Accounts) they represent, ensuring that if a board member leaves a corporation, the historical connection remains but is marked inactive. Which configuration strategy best meets these requirements?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
The Household Account Model is the standard for NPSP to track individuals. Organizational accounts should remain as standard Business Accounts. The NPSP 'Affiliations' object is specifically designed to link Contacts to Accounts (like board members to corporations) and includes 'Status' (Current/Former) and Start/End dates to track history, meeting the requirement perfectly.
