This #EarthDay, Microsoft Unlocked highlights how environmental progress is built. From reducing waste to strengthening global climate action. 🌍 One example is our ongoing work with the UNFCCC to support the Climate Data Hub, an AI-driven platform designed to make climate data easier to access, understand, and act on. Built on UNFCCC infrastructure and powered by Microsoft technology, it brings together climate submissions from 198 countries, making official climate data easier to access, analyze, and use by all stakeholders, from government leaders and policy-makers, to investors, academia, and civil society, supporting informed decisions and real-world implementation worldwide. 👉 Discover the full story on Microsoft Unlocked: https://lnkd.in/epAeqw_q

Paul’s life changed because an at-home screening kit caught bowel cancer early. Similarly, Claire found steady support after her dad’s diagnosis and Cheryl is living proof that even advanced pancreatic cancer doesn’t get the last word. For 90 years, Cancer Council Victoria has been there for Australians facing cancer by helping them navigate treatment, support services, and the realities that follow a diagnosis. But increasingly, people weren’t just asking “What happens next?” They were asking, “How do I keep up with the bills?” In one year, requests for help with the financial fallout of cancer rose 48% from mortgages and insurance to travel costs and uncovered expenses. To help more people without stretching budgets, Cancer Council Victoria is using Azure AI Services to support financial counselors—helping them find validated answers faster, and tailor follow-ups, so they can spend more time on the human moments that matter. This is what AI for good looks like when it’s designed to help more people get support, sooner. 👉 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/epP-pGMW

Most volunteer stories start quietly with someone simply showing up. This #NationalVolunteerMonth, we’re celebrating Camille Pepper, CEO of Everything Suarve Inc (ESuarve), who stepped in to support a friend and found herself standing alongside young people carrying more than most adults ever have to. What Camille saw changed her path and shaped her leadership. She measures impact in the moments you don’t always see in reports. "Leading with heart is essential, but heart without structure cannot last. Sustainability isn’t corporate, it’s safeguarding hope, ensuring every young person who walks through our doors finds safety, belief, and someone fighting for them.”, she says. If your nonprofit is building for the long term, we are here to help with technology that supports sustainability and mission impact, get in touch today!

When young people are given trust, skills, and a second chance, lives can change. Founded by Joseph Tepuni-Fromont, youth rehabilitation nonprofit Everything Suarve Inc supports young people with complex pasts through job training, mental health support, housing, mentorship, and life skills. In just five years, the team has helped 300+ young people, contributing to a 79% reduction in recidivism and a 90% return to work or school. As demand grew, the team found themselves spending too much time on administration and not enough time with the young people they serve. Working with Microsoft partner ONGC Systems, Everything Suarve built a custom solution using Power Apps and Power Automate, alongside Microsoft 365 Copilot, to streamline referrals, track progress across their 10-week program, and strengthen reporting. With less time behind a screen, they can spend more time on face-to-face connection. 🔗 Read the customer story: https://lnkd.in/eTRaB_-G

Behind every rescue is a chain of quick decisions: a call answered, a case logged and coordinated, and the long work of rebuilding trust. Each step helping turn a moment of crisis into a life saved. In reflection of the recently celebrated #WorldStrayAnimalDay, we’re spotlighting two animal welfare organizations using technology to help that chain move faster and more smoothly. In the Netherlands, DOA dierenasiel is using technology to streamline coordination, so staff and volunteers can spend more time on hands-on care and recovery, while supporting successful adoptions. Meanwhile, in Denmark, Dyrenes Beskyttelse is strengthening its nationwide safety net with improved digital tools that help teams respond faster, track cases more clearly, and guide more animals toward safer futures. We celebrate the people behind every rescue and the nonprofits using innovation to reach more animals in need, save more lives, and help them find their forever homes. See their work below 👇

Nonprofits aren’t waiting for the future to arrive. They’re actively shaping what comes next. At the Global Nonprofit Leaders Summit, leaders from around the world came together to share what’s working, what’s challenging, and what they’re learning as AI reshapes how work gets done across missions, teams, and communities. One theme came through clearly: progress today depends on trust, partnership, and a commitment to continuous learning. From conversations on inclusion, data stewardship, and responsible innovation to powerful reflections on purpose and leadership, this gathering was a reminder that technology only creates impact when it’s grounded in empathy and real-world needs.

Every April, National Volunteer Month reminds us of something simple yet powerful: people are the heartbeat of social impact. In his latest article, Marc Spiotta, GM Americas at Microsoft Elevate, reflects on why the future of volunteering depends on pairing human compassion with modern technology, and how nonprofits are using digital tools to remove friction, reduce burnout, and help volunteers focus on what matters most: people. As nonprofits face growing need and limited capacity, this isn’t about software. It’s about honoring volunteers’ time, energy, and purpose—and helping their impact go further than ever before.
