  Salesforce implementation. It still does not
  provide native functionalities like email
  marketing, online donations, and event
  management. You may need some of the additional
  apps to get installed and install as per your
  requirement.

  for you, then you may have to hire an
  implementation partner that may again cost you.

  implementation, you may again need an experienced
  Salesforce Developer. Well, to get the return on
  your investment, you may need to pay some
  additional cost. So, just for your database
  management and web application development like
  activities you may need to hire some additional
  cost.

  Salesforce Classic or fresh Salesforce version
  must consider some of the additional aspects.
