Microsoft just announced they will be sunsetting the nonprofit Fundraising and Engagement solution in 2026. Despite its (many) problems, I wondered if this product would grow and mature into a viable alternative to Salesforce's NPSP / NPC. Sounds like the answer to that question is a definitive 'no' and will impact both current and potential future Microsoft customers. I don't think this changes the nonprofit tech landscape much in the short term. What I am most curious about is what will happen with the hypothetical market share I think F&E *could* have captured in the next few years. Status quo as NPC sorts out growing pains? Microsoft platform solutions from other vendors (Mission, etc)? Another platform player getting nonprofit market share (Hubspot)? Or more industry-specific solutions? Interesting times for sure

📚 Technology and Innovation for Purpose: Reflections from IMAGINE: Nonprofit 🏥 David and I were genuinely moved by the wonderful humans that shared their stories of leveraging technology and innovation to drive purposeful impact at the Amazon Web Services (AWS) IMAGINE: Nonprofit event. One story that resonated deeply with us (and so the whole room!) was Rebecca’s journey founding Library For All — an organisation transforming access to education in some of the world's most remote and challenging environments. Kirsten from Gold Coast Hospital and Health Service shared how co-designing with users leads to system easier adoption, improved user engagement and are significantly more efficient — improving workflows by up to 40% 🚀. Alison from Infoxchange stepped though her golden rules for successfully landing “big hairy transformations”, starting with quick wins and focusing on engagement of key stakeholders (I am fully aligned!). All the speakers were amazing and their work exemplifies how technology, when guided by purpose, can make an extraordinary difference. Hat tip to Gemma, Shawn, Troy, Bruce, Nidhi, Kim and the whole AWS team for pulling together such an inspiring line up of stories. #TechnologyForPurpose #Innovation #SocialImpact #DigitalTransformation #HumanCenteredDesign #HealthcareInnovation

Townhall gatherings and Microsoft employee give campaign = JOY We had an energetic boost a few weeks ago while hosting our Q1 SMB Global Townhall in Redmond, Washington. We grounded everyone on the immense opportunity that we have to help small medium businesses #SMB digitally transform and empower all with AI and copilot solutions. My dog Hudson was the honored guest and was thrilled to hear all the great news. I had the pleasure of having a fireside chat with our Sr. Director of Business Operations, Erica R. Leigh. During our conversation, we uncovered some fascinating insights about Erica, including her journey to Microsoft, her strong advocacy for mentorship support, and her commitment to continuous learning. Erica emphasized the importance of being comfortable with the uncomfortable when receiving honest feedback, approaching it with neutrality, discerning the truth, and having a game plan to focus on improvements for personal growth. She shared her philosophy of loving what you do, learning along the way, and maintaining an open mindset. Great advice to all! Patrick Cook, our SMB global give champion kicked off our Microsoft International give campaign, October 1-31. This is an amazing time where Microsoft comes together, and all employees are empowered to make a difference to causes and passions they care about.  I give because I believe in the power of collective action to bring about meaningful change. Each contribution, whether big or small, creates ripples of impact that extend far beyond individual efforts. By participating in Microsoft's giving programs, we are helping to build a better future for everyone. The charities that I am passionate about and will be supporting through various events are: Outright International, ORAM - Organization for Refuge, Asylum & Migration, St. Mary's Food Bank, and Homes For Our Troops. Hybrid Townhall gatherings surrounded by an amazing SMB team and giving back to my community fills my heart with energy and joy. #MicrosoftGive #TeamTownhalls #Leadership Rebecca Needham, Earl Fitzhugh, Asad Ahmed, Mauricio Goez, Siew Hoon Goh.Erica R.
