Since 2017, Microsoft’s Tech for Social Impact initiative has been working to empower the nonprofit sector. As part of that effort two years ago, we released our Common Data Model for Nonprofits, a set of best practices represented as data entities, attributes, and relationships.
In a world where nonprofit organizations are chronically underfunded, every dollar counts. Technology is often viewed as an overhead expense rather than an area that can help programs innovate. Microsoft’s Tech for Social Impact is designed to bridge this gap by creating solutions and offers with the specific needs of nonprofits in mind.
