Microsoft Cloud for Nonprofit is a comprehensive suite designed to empower nonprofit organisations by providing them with integrated cloud solutions. It aligns the capabilities of Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, Azure, and LinkedIn to address the most common nonprofit scenarios, all based on the Nonprofit Common Data Model. This platform helps nonprofits engage with donors, manage volunteers, deliver effective programming, and accelerate mission outcomes, ensuring that they can focus on what matters most: their mission.

Relationship Management
Gain a 360-degree view of your charity’s relationship with your supporters, whether these are other organisations, individuals, potential donors, donors or volunteers.
Centralised contact management, with one single source of information visible to fundraising teams, marketing teams, major donor teams and other key stakeholders, allows for improved collaboration within your charity.

Campaign Management
People are hit with marketing messages so frequently they can become little more than noise. That means messages need to be personalised, relevant and targeted to make a difference.
Microsoft Cloud for Nonprofit provides you with the information you need to fully understand your supporters and to build strategic campaigns based on this insight – campaigns that turn one-off donors into life-long supporters. Record your supporters’ preferred communication channels so you are only communicating with them as they choose.

Manage Your Volunteers
The solution allows you to easily manage the people who volunteer for your charity. From the moment they apply to become a volunteer, Microsoft Cloud for Nonprofit helps you to vet and approve every person and then store that information securely. It enables you to document the skills every volunteer has, allowing you to deploy the right people to the most appropriate tasks.
Furthermore, you can capture every hour that people have volunteered for your charity and connect this time to specific activities that your charity is carrying out such as fundraising events, allowing you to closely monitor the resources required for each activity.
