Good afternoon Is there a way to disable the "Share in the cloud" toggle button in Clipchamp and set it to no by default? This is for using Clipchamp video editor in a primary school; we do not want the pupils to be able to share their videos to the cloud. Thank you AndrewQuestion for small nonprofits
If you work for a small (5-20 people) nonprofit or charity organisation, what types of information are you capturing using Excel spreadsheets (or paper)? This might include your volunteers, program participants, donors, assets, clients, etc. What other data are you managing? Have you tried finding off-the-shelf solutions to help you with managing it?114Views0likes4CommentsWhich Dynamics version, config ourselves, pricing
Hello. I work at a small charity and I’m trying to determine which version of Dynamics is suitable for us. I can’t find any clear information as to the differences between the different versions and which might be best for us. Our main areas of focus are: Service user details - e.g. name, address, membership number, medical issues, etc. Case details - each user could have many cases (such as dealing with a landlord, or pension issues), with each case having many contacts at different dates. Activities - many different activities, with many instances of each one (like twice weekly badminton). We would be able to find an SU, click on their details, pull up a list of their cases past and present, add additional contact details to their case for each contact we have with them, say how long the contact was, and how much was charged. Also, see what clubs/activities they’ve attended and when. We want a weekly/monthly calendar view booking system for reception to book SU contacts/appointments. In the future, we might want to have it available on the internet for SUs to book a slot themselves. For each instance of an activity, record who came, who paid a fee (if there was one). Be able to apply various tags to each SU (e.g. volunteer, paid member, daycare user), so we can have a list at a glance and be able to run reports on just those people. Running reports to see who did what activity, when they did it, who did what activity, how many case contacts we had between two dates, how much money was generated, etc. would be great. We are not focused on dealing with individual donors or fundraising, but we are interested in keeping a list of grant applications we’ve submitted and what money we’ve received from them, if any. Our charity has a very limited budget, so the system would be designed and put together by myself. My questions are: Which version of Dynamics is best for us? Will it be free from MS, or do we have to apply for some kind of grant? We are already registered as a nonprofit with MS. Will MS give us Dynamics so we can produce our own software, or do we have to do it though a Partner? If with a Partner, does it cost money? We're a small charity with a very small budget, so can't afford to spend big money on things, unfortunately. Many thanks.Solved600Views0likes6CommentsWill Microsoft’s Fundraising Template App Be Supported Long-Term?
Since Microsoft retired the Fundraising and Engagement app, they’ve introduced template apps for partners and customers to build solutions. Over the past year, we did lot of customizations on top of the Fundraising and Engagement app, and we’re now considering moving these customizations and needed functionality to the ‘Fundraising’ template app. However, we’re concerned about long-term stability. Can Microsoft confirm if there’s any risk of these templates being retired or delisted? This would help us and others plan with greater confidence.143Views3likes3CommentsMicrosoft 365 Backup - Azure Grant
Hi, I'm working for a small non-profit here in the UK, and they've recently received the Azure $2000 grant. Does anyone know if the grant can be used with Microsoft 365 Backup provided through Microsoft Syntex. It says you need an Azure subscription for the pay-as-you-go billing, but it doesn't appear on the list of Azure services. Thanks, RichSolved219Views0likes2CommentsAre you happy and successful with Dynamics?
I'd love to chat with a mid-sized nonprofit (in the 20-50 staff range +/-) that is up and running with Dynamics (whether or not they are using F&E), using it across more than one department, and generally satisfied with how things are going. I'm curious how much customization is in place, how much iteration has happened since go-live, what your tech stack looks like, how much is managed internally by an admin vs externally by a partner/managed services, and the LOE for getting an admin up to speed and/or expectations for ongoing partner support (cost, hours per month, etc). To be totally transparent, we have found Dynamics more difficult to work in than expected and would like to understand from others whether our expectations are realistic or not. Thanks in advance to anyone willing to chat!141Views0likes0CommentsOffers/Discounts for Volunteers of Non-Profit
Now that I've set up our non-profit organization with Microsoft's non-profit grant, which includes 10 licenses of Microsoft 365 Business Premium, I'm wondering about what Microsoft 365 discounts are available to volunteers, especially Office software. It's not clear to me what offers/discounts are available for them. Can someone advise?434Views0likes2CommentsStripe integration
Edit: this has now been resolved in the latest version of F&E (dated April 2024) that now uses Stripe client-side tokenization. We have it working as expected in a test environment. Hi all We are in the process of linking F&E to Stripe (test mode for now) to take credit card transactions. In the Payment Processor I have set the Stripe Service Key field to the Stripe Publishable Key value. The API Key field has been set to the Stripe Secret Key value. This is not well documented, but @chrisw_tes advised this was working correctly for them in another post in this forum. These API credentials have been transferred into Azure as per the documentation. When I add a Stripe test credit card to a transaction (stage 1), it completes successfully and I can see a token has been returned in the Stripe logging. When I process the transaction (stage 2), if fails with "Unsuccessful response from Stripe - secret_key_required". I can see a similar error in the Stripe logging - suggesting a publishable API key has been used instead of a secret key, incorrectly. But the POST did include the token created in stage 1. So I tried setting both values in the Payment Processor to the secret key - but then the addition of the credit card (stage 1) fails, suggesting that "sending credit card numbers directly to the Stripe API is generally unsafe". Please can anyone offer some advice here - is F&E using the wrong key in stage 2 and this is a bug? Or have I made a mistake in the config somewhere? Many Thanks! Added a couple of members who have commented on Stripe in this forum: BobKanzler jjbh_ as they might well have some further insight! Thanks!Solved1.6KViews1like6CommentsOffice 365 Business Premium License for Nonprofit Staff
I got information about the number of licenses available (10 licenses) when I signed up for the plan, but the number of licenses available (just one license). What's the correct number of it? Is it possible to use Office 365 and Teams for the staff without buy licenses, even using them online? Thanks in advance591Views0likes1Comment
