To standardize addresses in NPSP, especially when dealing with large amounts of Contact address data from street canvassing and telemarketing operations, the consultant should use Address Verification:

Enable Address Verification:

In Salesforce, navigate to the NPSP Settings.

Under "Address Management," enable Address Verification.

Configure the Address Verification settings according to the needs of the nonprofit.

Use Address Verification Service:

Utilize the integrated Address Verification service to standardize and validate addresses.

The service checks addresses against a reliable database, ensuring they are accurate and properly formatted.

Batch Processing:

For large amounts of data, set up batch processing to regularly verify and standardize addresses.

This can be scheduled to run monthly or as needed to keep the address data clean and accurate.

Review and Correct:

After verification, review any addresses flagged as incorrect or incomplete and make necessary corrections.

Using Address Verification helps ensure the nonprofit's address data is accurate and standardized, improving the quality of their data management.
