Some non-profits depend on a budget raised through fundraising activities and grants.  If you’re one of these organizations, you may have felt the pressure, not only to increase these amounts, but to track the amounts accurately and remain compliant with strict government standards. The often complex accounting of a non-profit can be made much easier with Microsoft Dynamics® GP.

Non-profit organizations face a unique set of challenges as opposed to those of a standard business.  Revenues generated through membership, fundraising activities, charitable events, and other sources are often inconsistent at best, and can greatly vary from year to year.  In addition, many non-profits have strict reporting requirements for meeting regulatory compliance, as well as for generating or spending grant or other fundraising revenues.  Finding management solutions for the distinctive needs of non-profits doesn’t have to be a challenge.

Microsoft Dynamics GP offers accurate data collection and reliable reporting results, in addition to membership management and other features important to a non-profit.  As with other common Microsoft software, Microsoft Dynamics GP is familiar in appearance and easy to use, making it convenient to access data and print reports anytime they are needed for reporting.  You can simplify the accountability to grantors and membership with any number of customized reports that can summarize information about grants, projects, or other fiscal records.  Microsoft Dynamics GP allows you to quickly look up and report on data for a member or constituent, as is often required by non-profits.

Grant funding and fundraising revenues are easier to track and report than ever before with Microsoft Dynamics GP.  Reducing manual entry and manual reconciliation processes will improve productivity and will help when tracking or reporting on specific grants or programs.  Specific project and activity-related data can be stored in a centralized location so that you can evaluate the success of particular projects or fundraising activities.

Microsoft Dynamics is designed to help non-profits comply with regulations, manage grant and fundraising activities, and improve the efficiency of accounting practices.  Streamlining the unique accounting needs of your non-profit will save you time and money, allowing you to focus more on your core mission, and less on accounting.  This provides greater cost-benefit value to your membership or constituents.  Simplify the often complicated accounting practices of your non-profit with Microsoft Dynamics GP.
