Important update to multi-factor authentication settings
Microsoft is making a change to multi-factor authentication (MFA). The phone call method will be removed to improve security for Microsoft. On March 19, 2024 PST the default MFA method will be changed from Phone Call to the Microsoft Authenticator app. You can verify your MFA configuration at https://aka.ms/MySecurityInfo and make sure that your devices are up to date. What is the Microsoft Authenticator app? This is a mobile application available for install on your smartphone or tablet as an MFA method to approve sign-in requests. Instructions for Microsoft Authenticator app installation and usage can be found on https://aka.ms/AuthAppInfo Why is phone call authentication being removed? To improve Microsoft’s security posture, we are transitioning users to more secure authentication methods. The phone call method enables you to verify your identity by calling your registered phone number to validate. This method is vulnerable to phishing attacks resulting in identity compromise. Information and Support If you are unable to validate a different authentication method or for any issues or questions, please contact Global Helpdesk via https://aka.ms/TechWeb

This allows volunteer managers to quickly and easily understand the progress of a volunteer and provide support if needed. Volunteer Management also allows volunteer managers to track attendance and balance shift volumes when an activity is happening. This means they can easily manage day-of activities and ensure that there are enough volunteers to cover all the shifts. The application also enables easy communication with volunteers through automated messaging. Volunteer managers can define automated messages to ensure volunteers receive timely logistics, training, and gratitude for their time. In addition to these features, Volunteer Management also provides volunteer insights, allowing volunteer managers to understand who is registering for, failing to show up to, and repeatedly contributing time to their organization. This helps volunteer managers to identify patterns and improve volunteer engagement. Overall, Volunteer Management is a comprehensive tool that helps nonprofits to effectively manage and engage volunteers, making it easier to scale missions and deliver vital programs and services. With its wide range of features, it is a valuable tool for any nonprofit looking to improve their volunteer management process.

Hi - I'm not having any luck setting up the Stripe Payment Processor in Fundraising and Engagement. It asks for a Stripe Service Key and an API key. There are not many instructions. I tried using the public key as the "Stripe Service Key" and the secret key as the API key (and the other way around too. Neither works. Has anyone set this up successfully? Can you share the setup steps and which keys to use where? Thanks!
Is there a tool/utility available to migrate data from Raisers Edge to Fundraising and Engagement
How do yo migrate data from Raisers Edge to Fundraising and Engagement ? I assume this is something that will be required by many organisations so does not make sense for each organisation to reinvent the wheel. Marc
