Move your Nonprofit CRM to Microsoft without the chaos.
Fundraising and Engagement is retiring. Plan your move before it becomes urgent.
- Support ends December 31, 2026 at 11:59 PM Pacific Time.
- Microsoft will address critical security issues until that date, but no product enhancements will be made.
- Licensing was available to new customers only until December 31, 2024, and is not available as of January 1, 2025.
Why this matters now
Donor retention is under pressure, and messy systems make it worse.
- The Fundraising Effectiveness Project estimated overall donor retention in 2024 was 42.9%.
- Many nonprofits believe CRM is a direct lever for growth. In NTEN and Heller Consulting’s 2024 survey, 33% said they could raise more funds by investing in a new CRM.
The problems we solve
- Duplicate contacts and “who is the real record?” confusion
- No single view of a supporter across giving, events, volunteering, and programs
- Manual work for acknowledgements, tasks, pledges, recurring gifts, and follow-ups
- Reports that take days and still do not match finance
- Staff switching tools and re-entering the same data
- Broken or fragile integrations that nobody wants to touch
- Permissions that are unclear, risky, or hard to manage
What you are getting
A Microsoft-based CRM built for nonprofit work, not generic sales.
We implement Microsoft Dynamics 365 + Power Platform, and where it fits, Microsoft’s nonprofit fundraising capabilities on the platform.
Microsoft’s Fundraising app is a model-driven app built on Power Platform and designed to surface nonprofit fundraising data like constituents, relationships, gifts, and designations.
One constituent record for people, households, organizations, and relationships
Better donor journeys with consistent follow-ups and reminders
Clear dashboards and reporting your leadership can trust
A system your team will actually use because screens match real workflows
How Adovent helps
We migrate, implement, and then run it with you.
Most CRM projects fail after go-live, when the vendor disappears and the nonprofit is stuck. We stay.
1) Implementation and migration (end-to-end)
- Discovery workshops (development, programs, finance, leadership)
- CRM design: data model, processes, permissions, reporting
- Data cleanup, mapping, and migration with validation
- Configuration and customization based on your workflows
- Integrations with the tools you already use
- Testing, training, go-live support, and adoption support
2) Managed services after go-live
- User support and admin help
- Monthly enhancements (forms, workflows, dashboards, integrations)
- Change control and release management
- Data quality checks and governance support
- Roadmap planning so the CRM keeps improving
What we typically migrate
We bring your full constituent story forward.
Depending on your current system, we can migrate:
- Contacts, households, and relationships
- Donations, pledges, recurring gifts, and designations
- Campaigns, appeals, events, and attendance
- Volunteer profiles and hours
- Program enrollments and outcomes
- Grant tracking and reporting fields
- Communication history where feasible
