When initially provisioned, an instance of Slate for Advancement comes with five standard datasets:

• Organizations

• Organization Contacts

• Funds

• Companies and Foundations

The first three datasets listed are standard for all instances of Slate. The final two, Funds and Companies and Foundations, are designed exclusively for Slate for Advancement. This article provides instructions and use cases for leveraging these datasets.
