Constituent and Member Management (360° View): Know every relationship—not just every donor - Supporters rarely fit into a single category. A donor may also volunteer, serve on your board, attend events, or receive services. Dynamics 365 creates a complete, 360-degree view of every constituent, giving your team the context they need to personalize engagement, strengthen relationships, and deliver more meaningful experiences. Built-in AI can also help staff identify engagement patterns and surface opportunities to strengthen constituent relationships.

Donor Management and Donation Tracking: Turn every donation into a stronger relationship -Track one-time and recurring donations, pledges, giving history, donor interactions, and engagement in one place. With a complete view of each donor relationship, your team can drive all facets of donor engagement—stewardship, personalized communications, strengthened donor retention, and the ability to identify opportunities to deepen support. AI can also help identify giving trends, predict donor interests, and recommend personalized engagement opportunities.

Fundraising, Campaign and Event Management: Spend less time managing campaigns and more time engaging supporters - Dynamics 365 helps you plan fundraising campaigns, manage events, track responses, automate routine activities, and measure results from a single platform. It helps your team stay organized, automate routine tasks, and gain real-time visibility into campaign performance so you can focus on building lasting donor relationships. AI can also help teams analyze campaign performance, identify emerging opportunities, and personalize donor outreach at scale.

Better visibility helps reduce administrative effort while improving accountability throughout the grant lifecycle.

Financial Management and Accounting: Gain complete visibility into your organization's finances - Non-profits that need modernize financial management can extend their Microsoft solution with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance—improving financial agility, control, and insight. Finance teams can manage all areas in one connected system, connected with fundraising, grants, and operations for greater visibility into financial performance while improving stewardship and accountability. AI-assisted analysis helps finance teams identify trends, improve forecasting, and spend more time on strategic planning instead of manual analysis.

Supply Chain Management and Procurement: Manage resources responsibly and efficiently -Non-profits that manage inventory, humanitarian aid, donated goods, medical supplies, or other physical resources can extend their Microsoft solution with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, helping streamline procurement, purchasing, inventory management, warehouse operations, vendor relationships, and order fulfillment. Connected operational and financial data helps organizations improve accountability, control costs, and ensure critical resources reach the people and communities they serve.

AI can help coordinators identify participation trends and improve volunteer engagement over time. Better engagement helps strengthen volunteer relationships and encourage long-term involvement.

Flexible Apps and Automation with Microsoft Power Platform: Adapt technology to the way your organization works - Not every nonprofit process fits neatly into an out-of-the-box application. Microsoft Power Platform allows organizations to extend Dynamics 365 with low-code applications, automated workflows, and other capabilities tailored to their unique requirements. For example, Power Apps can support processes such as volunteer onboarding, case management, and program delivery. Power Automate can reduce repetitive work by automating approvals, document routing, and other everyday processes. Because these capabilities work with Dynamics 365 and other Microsoft and third-party systems, organizations can adapt and expand their environment without relying on extensive custom development.

Self-Service Portals with Power Pages: Connect with your community anytime, anywhere - Using Microsoft Power Pages, part of the Power Platform toolbox, non-profits can create secure online portals where donors, volunteers, members, and partners can register for events, submit information, update their profiles, or access resources—reducing administrative work while improving the overall experience.

Connected Data and a Unified Organizational View: See the complete picture—not just pieces of it - Microsoft Dataverse helps create a secure, connected foundation for information across fundraising, finance, grants, volunteers, programs, operations, procurement, and constituent engagement. Instead of maintaining duplicate records across disconnected systems, teams can work from more consistent information. That improves collaboration, reporting, automation, and decision-making across departments while providing a stronger data foundation for analytics and AI.

Dashboards, Reporting, Analytics, and AI: Turn information into insight - Transform information from across your organization into interactive dashboards, AI-powered insights, and intelligent actions. Microsoft Fabric provides the connected data foundation, while Power BI transforms that data into meaningful dashboards and real-time insights across fundraising performance, financial health, grant utilization, program outcomes, operational performance, and organizational impact. Combined with AI agents, organizations can automatically identify trends, surface risks, answer questions, and help staff take action instead of simply reporting on what happened.

AI should strengthen human relationships, not replace them.

Microsoft’s 2026 Work Trend Index found that 58% of AI users are producing work they couldn't have accomplished a year earlier, demonstrating how AI expands what people can do—not by replacing human expertise, but by giving them more time to guide their work, make better decisions, and focus on higher-value work that advances their mission.

When AI is built into everyday work, it becomes less about automating tasks and more about helping people make better decisions. Microsoft Copilot, AI agents, and built-in intelligence work across Microsoft Dynamics 365 and the broader Microsoft ecosystem to help people find information, reduce routine work, identify what needs attention, and take action more efficiently.

For non-profits, that creates opportunities to use AI across fundraising, constituent engagement, finance, programs, operations, and service. But AI delivers the greatest value when it is grounded in connected, trusted information. Microsoft technologies such as Microsoft Dynamics 365, Dataverse, Fabric, Power Platform, Microsoft 365, and Azure provide the data, application, automation, and governance foundation needed to support reliable AI and agentic experiences.

Dynamics 365 is evolving into an agentic business platform that combines Copilot experiences with AI agents that can assist with—and in some cases autonomously execute—business processes. Depending on the application and use case, agents can monitor information, surface opportunities or risks, recommend next steps, and automate multi-step work while keeping people involved where judgment or approval is required.

Microsoft Copilot: Give everyone a smarter way to work

Microsoft Copilot helps staff complete everyday work more efficiently by summarizing constituent interactions before meetings, drafting donor and grant communications, preparing board reports, answering questions about financial and operational data, finding information across Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Microsoft 365, and reducing the time spent on routine administrative tasks. Rather than replacing human expertise, Copilot helps your team accomplish more with the resources you already have.

AI-Powered Insights: See what your data is trying to tell you

AI can analyze information across fundraising, finance, grants, programs, procurement, operations, and constituent engagement to identify trends, highlight opportunities, and surface potential risks. Whether recognizing changes in donor engagement, monitoring financial performance, identifying funding opportunities, or uncovering operational efficiencies, AI-powered insights help leaders make faster, more informed decisions using the information they already have.

AI Agents: Move from insight to action

Most AI tools answer questions or generate content when prompted. AI agents (sometimes referred to as agentic AI) go a step further by continuously monitoring information, identifying opportunities or risks, recommending next steps, and automating routine work based on the goals you define.

Built on Microsoft technologies such as Dynamics 365, Fabric, Dataverse, and Azure, Microsoft AI agents can help non-profits proactively support fundraising, finance, operations, and constituent engagement—allowing staff to focus more time on advancing their mission.

Microsoft Copilot Studio: Extend your team with purpose-built AI assistants

Microsoft Copilot Studio enables non-profits to create AI assistants that answer common questions, guide users through routine processes, and provide self-service support for donors, volunteers, employees, grant applicants, and community members. From helping volunteers find opportunities to answering HR questions or assisting finance teams with routine requests, AI assistants can improve responsiveness while freeing your staff to focus on the work that only people can do.
