Case Study: Ducks Unlimited achieves scalable conservation fundraising and secure operations with Microsoft Corporation

Conservation nonprofit uses Dynamics 365 to track funding and manage restoration projects to protect waterfowl

Ducks Unlimited, a U.S.-based conservation nonprofit, was growing its corporate partnerships and fundraising efforts, but its legacy PHP-and-spreadsheet systems could not handle the complexity. The organization needed a better way to manage conservation projects, comply with government grant requirements, support donor relationships, and protect sensitive information, so it turned to Microsoft Corporation products including Dynamics 365, Power BI, and Office 365.

Microsoft Corporation helped Ducks Unlimited implement a digital transformation centered on Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations, Power BI, and Office 365 E5. The solution improved grant compliance, strengthened security, cut monthly fundraising reporting from days to hours, and supported more efficient cash-flow planning and project management—enabling DU to add $5 million more to wetland conservation and accelerate its mission to protect wildlife habitat.
