DFG · A LUDIA CONSULTING PROGRAM · MICROSOFT DYNAMICS 365 PARTNER

Microsoft Dynamics 365 for the missions that matter.

Dynamics for Good is how Ludia Consulting brings Microsoft Dynamics 365 to nonprofits, NGOs, public-sector agencies, and social enterprises. We design, implement, train, and support — using the same expertise we apply to Fortune 500 clients.

DFG · 002 · THE PROGRAM

A Ludia Consulting practice for mission-driven work.

Dynamics for Good is not a separate company, foundation, or grant program. It is the part of Ludia Consulting dedicated to nonprofits, NGOs, public-sector teams, and social enterprises — the same Microsoft Dynamics 365 implementation team that runs commercial engagements, working on the projects that change lives.

Founded in 2019. Active across animal rescue, public health, fundraising, disability services, mentorship, and emergency response.

↓ What this helps your team do better
01 Case Management

Stop running client files in spreadsheets.

Track clients, services, and outcomes in a single Dynamics 365 system. Built for organizations serving anywhere from 50 to 50,000 people.

02 Fundraising Operations

Donors, gifts, and grants — in one place.

Donor records, recurring giving, grant pipelines, and campaign reporting on Dynamics 365 — instead of three disconnected tools and a manual reconciliation at year-end.

03 Rapid Response

Stand up programs when timing matters.

Fast implementation for emergency response, pilot programs, and time-bound initiatives. The model we ran with the New York State Department of Health during the COVID-19 response.

04 Reporting & Insight

See what's actually working.

Power BI dashboards and Microsoft Cloud reporting that turn program data into something a board, a funder, or a state agency can act on.

003 / 007
DFG · 003 · WHO WE HELP

Built for four kinds of teams.

The technical work is similar. The constraints are different. Dynamics for Good is sized for organizations that need real CRM and operations tooling — not stripped-down free tiers.

A Nonprofits & NGOs

Mission organizations doing program work at scale.

Case management, fundraising, volunteer coordination, and program reporting. Examples in our impact log: UWARF, Antidote, Exceed Enterprises.

B Public-Sector Agencies

State, county, and municipal teams under real pressure.

Citizen services, public-health programs, and emergency response — delivered in partnership with Microsoft. See: New York State Department of Health, COVID-19 response.

C Social Enterprises

Hybrid commercial-and-mission organizations.

Organizations earning revenue while serving a mission need real CRM, sales operations, and impact tracking — not a stripped-down free version of either.

D Foundations & Boards

The people writing the checks and steering the work.

Grant management, portfolio reporting, and board-level visibility — so funders and trustees can see across a portfolio of grantees in one view.

DFG · 004 · HOW WE HELP

Strategy. Build. Train. Stay.

The same four-phase approach we apply to commercial Dynamics 365 engagements — adjusted for the realities of nonprofit and public-sector budgets, timelines, and decision-making.

01
Strategy

We listen first. Map the work your team actually does day-to-day — not just what's in the org chart. Then we scope what's worth building, and what to leave alone for now.

02
Implementation

Design and deploy on Microsoft Dynamics 365, Power Platform, and the broader Microsoft Cloud. The same implementation discipline we apply to enterprise clients.

03
Training

We train your team to run the system without us. The goal is fluency and independence — not a permanent retainer for basic admin work.

04
Long-Term Support

Quarterly reviews, ongoing improvements, year-round availability. Mission organizations don't have time for surprise tooling failures, so we don't disappear after go-live.

DFG · 006 · WHY THIS MATTERS

Mission organizations need real tools — not stripped-down ones.

The argument behind Dynamics for Good is operational, not philosophical. It comes down to three things.

01

The work is just as complex.

Most nonprofits and agencies run on a fraction of the technology budget of comparable for-profits. The number of clients, donors, grants, programs, and stakeholders is the same. The compliance burden is often higher. The tools they get are usually not.

02

The licensing gap is closed.

Microsoft offers deep nonprofit grants and discounts on Dynamics 365 and the Power Platform. The remaining barrier is implementation — getting the system designed, deployed, and adopted in a way that actually serves the work. That is the harder problem.

03

Implementation is what we do.

Dynamics for Good is the gap-closer. We bring the same Microsoft Dynamics 365 implementation discipline to a domestic-violence shelter that we bring to a Fortune 500 manufacturer. The mission deserves the discipline.
