Microsoft Fabric Fundraising Accelerator
Turn fundraising data into trusted insight with our Microsoft Fabric Fundraising Accelerator, purpose-built for not-for-profits to standardise fundraising data, implement a robust data model, and deliver board-level reporting underpinned by enterprise-grade data foundations, that leadership can trust and teams can rely on.
What is the Microsoft Fabric Fundraising Accelerator?
Most charities are data rich but insight poor, with staff time often consumed by pulling data and reconciling reports, leaving actionable information just out of reach. The Microsoft Fabric Fundraising Accelerator removes much of that complexity, giving your team a practical starting point for building a trusted, future-ready data foundation for fundraising reporting.
The Accelerator is a pre-configured and customisable data solution, designed to assist the development of a fundraising data model and KPI reporting.
By structuring and unifying data from fundraising and engagement systems – including Dynamics 365 – it establishes a secure, governed foundation that supports reliable analysis and performance measurement. With automated pipelines in place, not-for-profit organisations gain a consistent, insight-ready view of fundraising performance that is easy to extend as data maturity grows.
Why choose the Microsoft Fabric Fundraising Accelerator
Amidst ongoing pressure to do more with less, many charities are held back by the same challenges with their data – heavy manual reporting burden, limited visibility across the organisation’s data estate and hard-to-trust, fragmented data.
These challenges absorb valuable time and dramatically slow data-driven decision-making, leaving fundraising teams reacting to the past, while leaders and trustees lack the clarity they need to act with confidence for the future.
The Microsoft Fabric Fundraising Accelerator directly addresses these challenges by reducing reporting effort, improving visibility across campaigns and supporters, and creating a clean, centralised data foundation. The result is faster insight, great confidence in decisions, and a stronger platform that supports your specific charity needs.
