SUMMARY:Microsoft Fundraising & Engagement Retires End of Year 2026 - What's next for non profits?
DESCRIPTION: EVENT OVERVIEW\nMicrosoft Fundraising & Engagement (F&E) will reach end‑of‑support this year on 31 December 2026\, marking a significant shift for nonprofits across Australia\, New Zealand\, United Kingdom and Southeast Asia who still rely on F&E to manage donors\, campaigns\, grants\, events\, and supporter journeys.\nFor many organisations\, Fundraising & Engagement has become deeply embedded\, with years of data\, custom entities\, integrations\, reporting dependencies\, and fundraising workflows built around it.\nTransitioning away from Microsoft Fundraising & Engagement isn’t a simple solution swap. It requires careful consideration of your current environment’s complexity\, future requirements\, and the impact on your fundraising operations and supporter experience. \nThis 45 minute online session is designed to give not-for-profits clarity on what the F&E retirement announcement means in practical terms\, what will continue to function after December 2026\, what will cease\, and what risks organisations should be aware of as they plan their next steps. \nYou’ll also see how modern fundraising platforms like Klevr Fundraising provide a supported alternative within the Microsoft ecosystem\, and how eligible organisations can access a complimentary\, Microsoft‑funded F&E Migration Assessment. \nWhether you’ve already started planning or haven’t yet begun\, this session provides a practical\, example led walkthrough of how to navigate the transition smoothly and use it as an opportunity to modernise fundraising operations. \n			\n				Register Now\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				KEY TAKEAWAYS\n\nUnderstanding the F&E Retirement AnnouncementWhat Microsoft’s decision means\, key dates\, and what changes after 31 December 2026.\nMigration Risks & ConsiderationsHow to assess data structures\, integrations\, reporting dependencies\, customisations\, and user adoption impacts\, and how to avoid a “lift and shift” approach that simply recreates existing challenges.\nOpportunities to Modernise FundraisingHow nonprofits can improve donor management\, campaigns\, grants\, events\, supporter journeys\, and reporting through modern tools\, AI driven insights\, automated data processing\, and intelligent supporter engagement capabilities not available in F&E today.\nComplimentary Migration AssessmentWhat a structured migration assessment involves\, including how eligible organisations can access a Microsoft‑funded F&E Migration Assessment that outlines effort\, risks\, timelines\, and future‑state options within the Microsoft ecosystem.\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				WHY ATTEND\nYour organisation still relies on Microsoft Fundraising & Engagement and needs clarity on what happens after December 2026.\n\nYou want to understand the risks of staying on an unsupported fundraising platform.\nYou need guidance on how to migrate to a new platform without disrupting fundraising operations.\nYou’re exploring modern fundraising platforms but want to stay within the Microsoft ecosystem.\nYou’re interested in accessing a complimentary\, Microsoft‑funded migration assessment.\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				EVENT HOSTS\nSpecialists in nonprofit CRM\, fundraising operations\, Microsoft Cloud for Nonprofit\, and modern fundraising platforms.\n\nPhilip Duggan\, Walkerscott\nHarry Cuthbert\, Walkerscott\n\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\nDate: Wednesday\, 5 August 2026\nTime: 45 minutes (Start time 11AM SGT/ 1PM AEST/ 3PM NZST)\nLocation: Microsoft Teams (Online Webinar)\n\nRegister Here: Click here. \nFor more information\, please contact us.
