For NGOs, the portal is salesforce.org and you'll be using both. The NGO portal is tailored for non-profits and higher education organizations.

And, you'll need resources from this main website too. So, let's check out the help areas. Get Started provides links to resources based on the Salesforce edition you're using, depending on the type of work you'll be doing. The Success Community includes a search engine for quick answers. You can post questions and engage with millions of other Salesforce users, browse the documentation, make suggestions through the idea exchange, link to the app exchange and post a hiring notice.

The Documentation page contains links to the Salesforce PDFs that explain how to use their products and services. Technical Support provides resources for users and admins, plus a way to contact support to discuss your individual matter directly with a Salesforce agent. When I've crossed paths with these agents, they've been knowledgeable and helpful. Billing & Invoicing allows you to view and pay for your Salesforce fees. The Trailhead is a fun place to learn Salesforce for free.

Trails do what they say, leading you down the various paths of learning. The Salesforce Developers library provides what programmers need to go beyond the Salesforce user interface and configure their own apps. Training & Certification can help propel your Salesforce administration career forward by identifying courses and training for admins. Now let's go to salesforce.com/services to check out support plans.
