The Fundraising and Engagement solution is part of Microsoft Cloud for Nonprofit and Sales. It's a relationship management platform to help you modernize constituent engagement so you can increase mission impact. With Fundraising and Engagement, you can:

• Develop donor and supporter bases. Get a comprehensive view of constituents, such as individuals, households, and organizations, so that you can connect more effectively through personalized engagement. Increase donor loyalty and lifetime giving by understanding and addressing their priorities.

• Drive fundraising efficiency and reduce costs by automating key business processes. These business processes include donation, opportunity, campaign, and event management.

• Get an overall view of fundraising and financial outcomes. Eliminate the need for complex fundraising and financial reconciliation through end-to-end donation, revenue, and transaction management.

This solution relies on Azure services for features such as recurring gift processing and automated financial summaries. Fundraising and Engagement Azure Services is an Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template to help you deploy the required Azure services.

You can integrate LinkedIn Sales Navigator for Dynamics 365 with Fundraising and Engagement. This integration helps you enhance donor and prospect research with tailored approaches that use LinkedIn networks and interactions.

The Fundraising and Engagement solution organizes your efforts into areas—Development, Fundraising, Gifts, Events, Reports, and Configuration. Areas influence the navigation pane options you see to make it easier to work on closely related tasks. And it's easy to switch between areas, so you can work the way that works best for you.
