Optimized Fundraising
Microsoft Cloud for Nonprofits will support a new Fundraising performance dashboard that offers up-to-date interactive views of campaign performance, donor conversion, and other fundraising analytics using real time data, all built on Power BI’s industry-leading data visualization platform. This way, you and your Board can quickly understand the status of your fundraising campaigns and pivot if necessary to achieve your goals.
Enhanced Data Analysis and Insights
Data is the lifeblood of any organization, and nonprofits are no exception. With the new AI capabilities of Microsoft Cloud for Nonprofit, you can harness the power of artificial intelligence to gain valuable insights from your data. AI algorithms can analyze vast amounts of information in real-time, helping you identify trends, patterns, and correlations that may otherwise go unnoticed. This empowers your organization to make data-driven decisions, optimize operations, and allocate resources more effectively, ultimately driving greater social impact.
Donor-centric Marketing
With Dynamics 365 Marketing, your marketing team will be able to use plain language queries to segment donors, volunteers, and other constituents, and identify how donors prefer to be contacted and when they prefer to contribute. Dynamics 365 Marketing streamlines the generation of donor and volunteer acknowledgements, newsletters, program information, and other communications.
Improved Engagement
Nonprofits will get AI-based tools that help automate communications and generate personalized, highly relevant communications, reminders, and recommendations that enable nonprofits to stay connected and deepen engagement with donors. Microsoft has also integrated AI-based capabilities of Teams Premium into Fundraising and Engagement to help nonprofits improve productivity and make sure stakeholders get notes, and follow ups after an important meeting.
Donor Inclination Insights
They’ve also announced a new AI-powered donor propensity model inside Fundraising and Engagement that will help organizations leverage their data to understand who is most likely to donate. Over the next few months, they will work with a select group of nonprofits to develop and refine the model, with plans to make it available in the second half of calendar year 2023.
