Gain insights about your fundraising programs with the Fundraising performance dashboard in Microsoft Cloud for Nonprofit. The Fundraising performance dashboard lets you explore snapshots of your programs, program revenue and budgets, donations aligned to programs, and other information about your programs. The dashboards are built on the Nonprofit Common Data Model. They're interactive so you can drill down to see key information.
The Fundraising performance dashboard provides you with four views:
This article explains the data behind these pages. For best results, be sure that you've set up campaign goals in Fundraising and Engagement. Without campaign goals, some tiles on the dashboards don't display correctly. The key campaign fields are:
- Estimated revenue
- Total cost of campaign
- Total revenue
Note
Fundraising performance dashboard uses the fiscal year you set up in Fundraising and Engagement. If you haven't configured a fiscal year, the dashboard uses the default fiscal year, January through December.
Each table clearly indicates whether it covers just the fiscal year or includes other years.
The interactivity markers indicate that the tile will filter other visualizations. Not all interactive tiles filter all the visuals on the rest of the page. Select the tile a second time to view all records after filtering.
