When you’re supporting people across regions, languages, and time zones - the underlying operational work is as critical as the visible delivery. For The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, that includes coordinating 60,000–80,000 orders each month and 6,000–7,000 travel bookings, alongside manufacturing, distribution, and service operations that need to run securely and reliably, on a global scale. By unifying key processes on Microsoft Dynamics 365 — including Dynamics 365 Finance — the organization has reduced technical complexity, strengthened security, and improved end-to-end coordination across its operations. Allowing more time to be spent supporting the communities they are serving. Read the full customer story here: https://lnkd.in/ewmvnaJ3

As AI becomes an increasingly powerful tool for nonprofits, the opportunity lies in how it’s applied to strengthen operations and scale impact, while staying true to mission. In a new episode of the Fundraising.AI podcast, Project C.U.R.E. CEO Dr. Douglas Jackson reflects on the organization’s journey from a small garage in 1987 to a global medical relief charity. He speaks about how data, volunteers, and Microsoft tools have helped power that growth. The conversation also explores how strategic technology adoption and a responsible approach to AI, in addition to strong partnerships, are improving efficiency and access — particularly for nonprofits looking to do more with limited resources. 🎧 Listen to the full episode: https://lnkd.in/ezSuUdiG

Over two days in Sydney, Australia, nonprofit leaders, educators, partners, and Microsoft changemakers came together for a shared conversation about what it takes to drive meaningful, AI‑powered impact. Across both Microsoft Elevate Day in Sydney and the Microsoft AI Tour, a clear theme emerged: ➡️ AI impact depends on people, partnerships, and practical implementation. As AI reshapes jobs at speed, many of the skills we rely on today will change. But access to AI, and the opportunity it can create, isn’t evenly distributed. That’s why digital futures need to be built alongside community leadership, including First Nations voices, through inclusive partnership models that are grounded in long‑term systems change. When nonprofits, education institutions, governments, and technology partners collaborate intentionally, we accelerate innovation and unlock more sustainable pathways to scale impact. What we saw in Sydney was a clear shift from experimentation to action. Across both days, conversations consistently returned to three priorities for AI-powered impact: ✅ Building AI skills so people feel confident using these tools ✅ Working across sectors to learn faster and scale what works ✅ Moving from pilots to real-world implementation And most importantly, putting people at the center: • Teachers using AI to get hours back each week for their students • Frontline workers reducing admin so they can focus on care • Organizations learning together what responsible, human-first adoption looks like Because AI isn’t the hero of this story. The people using it to serve their communities are. Thank you to the incredible community who joined us in Sydney to explore how AI can help organizations build resilience, expand impact, and deliver meaningful outcomes for the people they serve.

This #EarthDay, Microsoft Unlocked highlights how environmental progress is built. From reducing waste to strengthening global climate action. 🌍 One example is our ongoing work with the UNFCCC to support the Climate Data Hub, an AI-driven platform designed to make climate data easier to access, understand, and act on. Built on UNFCCC infrastructure and powered by Microsoft technology, it brings together climate submissions from 198 countries, making official climate data easier to access, analyze, and use by all stakeholders, from government leaders and policy-makers, to investors, academia, and civil society, supporting informed decisions and real-world implementation worldwide. 👉 Discover the full story on Microsoft Unlocked: https://lnkd.in/epAeqw_q

Paul’s life changed because an at-home screening kit caught bowel cancer early. Similarly, Claire found steady support after her dad’s diagnosis and Cheryl is living proof that even advanced pancreatic cancer doesn’t get the last word. For 90 years, Cancer Council Victoria has been there for Australians facing cancer by helping them navigate treatment, support services, and the realities that follow a diagnosis. But increasingly, people weren’t just asking “What happens next?” They were asking, “How do I keep up with the bills?” In one year, requests for help with the financial fallout of cancer rose 48% from mortgages and insurance to travel costs and uncovered expenses. To help more people without stretching budgets, Cancer Council Victoria is using Azure AI Services to support financial counselors—helping them find validated answers faster, and tailor follow-ups, so they can spend more time on the human moments that matter. This is what AI for good looks like when it’s designed to help more people get support, sooner. 👉 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/epP-pGMW

Most volunteer stories start quietly with someone simply showing up. This #NationalVolunteerMonth, we’re celebrating Camille Pepper, CEO of Everything Suarve Inc (ESuarve), who stepped in to support a friend and found herself standing alongside young people carrying more than most adults ever have to. What Camille saw changed her path and shaped her leadership. She measures impact in the moments you don’t always see in reports. "Leading with heart is essential, but heart without structure cannot last. Sustainability isn’t corporate, it’s safeguarding hope, ensuring every young person who walks through our doors finds safety, belief, and someone fighting for them.”, she says. If your nonprofit is building for the long term, we are here to help with technology that supports sustainability and mission impact, get in touch today!

When young people are given trust, skills, and a second chance, lives can change. Founded by Joseph Tepuni-Fromont, youth rehabilitation nonprofit Everything Suarve Inc supports young people with complex pasts through job training, mental health support, housing, mentorship, and life skills. In just five years, the team has helped 300+ young people, contributing to a 79% reduction in recidivism and a 90% return to work or school. As demand grew, the team found themselves spending too much time on administration and not enough time with the young people they serve. Working with Microsoft partner ONGC Systems, Everything Suarve built a custom solution using Power Apps and Power Automate, alongside Microsoft 365 Copilot, to streamline referrals, track progress across their 10-week program, and strengthen reporting. With less time behind a screen, they can spend more time on face-to-face connection. 🔗 Read the customer story: https://lnkd.in/eTRaB_-G
