Where did you get this press release? I don’t see it on salesforce.com or salesforcefoundation.org.

Hmm, interesting. I’m an admin for a nonprofit too and I hadn’t heard about this. Do you know, did the email only go to the Primary Contact, as specified in the Company Information?

That’s weird. Maybe it is a phased mailing campaign or something. It was a vertical response mailing.
