Hey MattBurr

 

This is an interesting topic. While I don’t run a nonprofit myself, I’ve worked with many small nonprofits. Initially, many lacked infrastructure and some relied on standard applications like Word and Excel. We introduced solutions like OneDrive and SharePoint for file and data management, and Microsoft Teams for communication. A few nonprofits also used Dynamics 365 CRM for data management. It would be exciting to hear how other nonprofits manage their data.

 

Sincerely,

    Hey Brandon,

    I am starting to work with nonprofits in my technology business. How can I get in touch with you? I'm a Microsoft partner and providing the 365 Business plan to them. Ways I am having them capture data is in Microsoft Forms where the captured data auto stores in an Excel sheet that is stored in a Teams/SharePoint site. Also have them to create SharePoint list to capture data, Power Apps templates like the Volunteer mgt, and Access data base is included in the standard/premium 365 .
