Recommend: Microsoft for Nonprofits
I am a firm believer that communication is an essential thing within any organization or business. Microsoft has allowed us to increase communication efforts in a professional manner allowing us customizable email domains for zero cost to our organization. I know there are more features that we need to take advantage of, however, there is only so much time in the day.

The Contingent's use of Microsoft for Nonprofit
Score 8 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
We have both been utilizing certain components and not others since our development pre-dated the Microsoft for Nonprofit infrastructure. It left us with the reality that we could "lift and shift" to lock in with the Microsoft for Nonprofit schema and data model, though that would take considerable effort and with our limited resources, we're at the moment better off investing those resources in future development (net-new) vs. refactoring for little return. The use of the tools however have undoubtedly multiplied our ability to reach and serve community members.
