Microsoft’s Technology for Social Impact (TSI) team launched the Dynamics 365 Nonprofit Accelerator in November 2018, aimed at empowering not-for-profits and socially responsible companies through technology for driving social impact. This accelerator helps organizations eliminate data silos, providing powerful insights into their data and breaking down barriers to effective operations.
