The future of online fundraising: integration of RaiseNow and Microsoft Dynamics 365

Introduction to the world of online fundraising

Online fundraising has become increasingly important for non-profit organisations (NPOs), as the depth of use by their patrons has also increased. Today, 9 out of 10 people are already online. This offers NPOs numerous opportunities to efficiently identify potential patrons and generate donations.

While RaiseNow is a leading platform for donation processing and multichannel fundraising, the Ambit Group brings extensive expertise in the digitalisation of business processes based on the Microsoft Power platform. Together, they form a strong team that combines technology and expertise to drive digital transformation in fundraising.

RaiseNow: More than donation forms

RaiseNow is the leading platform for processing donations. They also offer other innovative functions such as community fundraising, the integration of modern payment methods and the ability to flexibly customise donation forms.

 

 

Community Fundraising

The donor's social environment is actively involved in fundraising campaigns - be it in the sports club, in the family or at work. The involvement of communities gives organisations a broader supporter base, which increases donor commitment.

 

Integration of modern payment methods

RaiseNow offers seamless integration of modern payment methods such as TWINT, Apple Pay and Google Pay. This allows donors to use their preferred payment method and increases the likelihood of a donation.

 

Flexible customisation of donation forms

With RaiseNow, donation forms can be flexibly customised. Organisations can design them according to their needs in order to optimally respond to the different preferences and expectations of their target groups and thus maximise conversion rates.

 

"Our partnership with Ambit makes the RaiseNow Dynamics integration more visible to NPOs and facilitates access to data-driven fundraising.
Together we optimise donation processes, strengthen donor relationships and promote sustainable growth."

Marco Zaugg, CEO RaiseNow

The Ambit Group: Fundraising on the Microsoft Power Platform

The Ambit Group is a leading provider of digital solutions based on the Microsoft Power Platform. Our platform combines the power of Azure, Dynamics 365 and the Power Platform to digitise processes, analyse data and automate workflows.
 

We have developed a special solution library that is tailored to the needs of non-profit organisations (NPOs). Instead of individual tools, we offer modular building blocks that can be flexibly combined to fulfil specific requirements. This approach not only saves time and money, but also ensures scalability and future-proofing. With our expertise, we support NPOs in realising their missions more efficiently and effectively.
 

 

Integration: efficiency through technology

The integration of RaiseNow and Microsoft Dynamics 365 provides an end-to-end solution that covers the entire fundraising process - from donation to back-end processing. The key benefits of this integration include:

 

Personalised donor experience

Personalisation is immensely important in building long-term relationships with donors: with Microsoft Dynamics 365 and RaiseNow, NPOs can create personalised campaigns and send targeted messages to different donor groups. 

This strengthens loyalty and increases the likelihood of repeat donations.

Integration of online/offline donations

Seamless integration of online and offline donations is essential. RaiseNow makes it possible to synchronise donations from different channels and manage them in a central system.

This provides a comprehensive overview of all donation activities and facilitates reporting.

Automation

Automation can significantly reduce the burden on NPOs and increase efficiency. Recurring tasks such as donation receipts, thank-you messages and donor management can be automated.

This saves time and reduces errors. This allows employees to concentrate on creative and strategic tasks.

Analysing the data

Data is the key to optimising fundraising strategies. With tools such as Microsoft Dynamics 365, NPOs can carry out analyses of donor behaviour and make informed decisions.

By segmenting donors and adapting communication to their preferences, NPOs can increase the willingness to donate.

A look into the future

The partnership between RaiseNow and the Ambit Group is a prime example of how technology can be used to overcome the challenges of modern fundraising. 

The continuous development of the solution and the close cooperation between the two companies ensure not only efficiency but also sustainable fundraising success for organisations.

Conclusion

The combination of RaiseNow and Microsoft Dynamics 365 offers non-profit organisations a powerful platform to achieve their goals more efficiently.With seamless integration, real-time data processing and innovative features, the two companies are setting new standards in online fundraising.

For organisations looking to expand their digital capabilities, this partnership is a clear step forward - towards greater efficiency, better donor relationships and a sustainable future.
