I want to learn more about Nonprofit Pain Points?

My name is Erica Leverson, a data analyst/tech expert at EDL Investments. We have started to want to work with nonprofits because we want to work with organizations who is making humans, animals, the environment a better place. So, in order for me to be of service to nonprofits, I want to know what the pain points are. My goal is to learn of the struggles so I can create solutions. If you don't mind, can you please share them in the comments.

    I am a Program Director for a non profit organization supporting Homeless Veterans. I am tech savvy and have gotten our staff to adopt, Sharepoint, onedrive, and Teams. We have Business premium licenses and it would be nice to get a custom built app for case management/reporting dashboards so we could track all of our grants/participants.

      Sounds like you've set up a good tech foundation!

      Power Apps would be a good platform to create a custom-built app for your purpose. If you're tech savvy, go along to an 'App in a day' course and you might get inspired to try building it yourself: Microsoft Events Search

      Hey,

       

      I would love to learn more about your project you need with the custom-built case mgt. There might be a free CRM Microsoft already have for nonprofits available. Let us set-up a call/teams meeting email address removed for privacy reasons
