From Donation to Impact – How MazikNFP Streamlines Fundraising and Engagement

In 2025, online fundraising in the UK grew by 21%, with mobile devices driving 57% of nonprofit web traffic. Yet, donor retention continues to challenge the sector, with only ~19% of first-time donors returning.

The MazikNFP fundraising solution solves this by transforming every phase of the donor lifecycle. It is built on the Microsoft Cloud for nonprofits to streamline giving and automate donor relationship management. It delivers real-time insights that drive impact via integrated donor engagement software and powerful fundraising data analytics.

Simply, it is where modern nonprofit fundraising software meets measurable impact.

The End of Microsoft’s Fundraising Tool: What You Need to Know

Microsoft is retiring its Fundraising & Engagement (F&E) solution on 31 December 2026. Without a plan to move forward, teams risk running on unsupported systems, exposing themselves to security threats, data fragmentation, and operational downtime.

To avoid that, Microsoft recommends three transition paths, i.e., building a custom system, using its Power Apps fundraising template, or switching to a purpose-built ISV solution like MazikNFP. The latter is especially appealing to organisations already invested in the Microsoft cloud for nonprofits, as it delivers continuity with added capabilities.

MazikNFP is a comprehensive nonprofit fundraising software suite that aligns with existing Microsoft tools while addressing many of the limitations that have held legacy systems back.

Challenges with Traditional Fundraising Platforms

The average charity today juggles multiple disconnected tools to manage day-to-day operations. A survey revealed that 45% of UK charities reviewing their CRM are considering major changes, mostly due to frustration with complex, disconnected tech environments.

Legacy systems usually lack the user-friendly interfaces needed for speed and productivity. Even worse, critical processes like Gift Aid claims are mostly manual, slow, and error-prone. At a time when supporters demand transparency, it is no surprise that 24% of donors stop giving because they don’t know where their money went.

Throw in GDPR, HMRC Gift Aid rules, and the burden of maintaining audit trails, and it becomes clear why so many nonprofits are re-evaluating their tech stacks. A modern charity CRM software or robust donor management system, ideally part of a unified nonprofit engagement platform, is not only a “nice-to-have” anymore, but it is also essential.

Why MazikNFP Is A Seamless, Scalable Replacement

MazikNFP is engineered to fit naturally into the Microsoft technology ecosystem. It is built on Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Azure, and Dataverse, which are all core components of the Microsoft cloud for nonprofits.
