It’s the happiest season of all for fundraisers and a time for celebrating as all the hard work of the past year comes to fruition. Individuals gave more than $324 billion in 2021, and 30% of all donations come in during December, this means over $97 billion is headed your collective way in the next few weeks. That’s something to celebrate!

Soapbox Engage has been providing nonprofit organizations with powerful, affordable online engagement solutions for more than 20 years. During this time, we’ve integrated with trusted platforms to amplify the missions of organizations that provide invaluable support, programming, education, resources, advocacy, and more. We’re excited to announce our newest integration with Microsoft Fundraising and Engagement.

The Soapbox Engage Donations app is the first solution of its kind to integrate with the new Microsoft Fundraising & Engagement. The Donations app sends data to Fundraising & Engagement in real-time so donor and transaction information is instantly available in Microsoft Fundraising & Engagement with no manual entry, duct-taped integrations, or laborious imports.

Nonprofit organizations provide invaluable support and services, address social and environmental issues, and pave the way to celebrate, aid, and unite communities. For all of their incredible contributions, mission driven organizations often struggle to find the resources, funding, and technology they need to maintain and grow their work.

Just last week, Microsoft announced the arrival of Microsoft Cloud for Nonprofit, an accessible tech solution that strives to support and simplify the transformative work of nonprofit organizations. This cloud-based solution aligns the capabilities of Microsoft 365, Power Platform, Dynamics 365, Azure and LinkedIn to address many common nonprofit scenarios. It connects nonprofits to Microsoft cloud offerings while utilizing the Common Data Model to unite their organizational data on a single platform.

And...this solution will be available in the second half of 2021. So, what do you need to know about Microsoft Cloud for Nonprofit to prepare for its release? This blog will walk you through the basics and help you determine if this solution is right for your organization.

Every new year is accompanied with new technology. As we head into 2021, we are excited to highlight the Nonprofit Common Data Model’s virtual event happening next week - an event so nice, it's being held twice!
