Barhead Solutions, an IT consultancy firm, has launched the Barhead Fundraising Solution (BFS) for nonprofits in Australia at the FIA Conference. The BFS, built on Microsoft’s Cloud for Nonprofit, streamlines processes related to campaign and income management while incorporating the native communication and engagement capabilities of Microsoft. The BFS aims to address capability gaps in standard cloud solutions that create a barrier to entry due to the high cost of implementation and ongoing maintenance. Microsoft and Barhead Solutions are committed to driving meaningful digital transformation in the NFP sector and supporting NFPs to ensure the beneficiaries they serve get the support they need. The FIA Conference attracted 1,500 attendees, including prominent NFPs from across Australia, for a three-day event where industry thought leaders shared insights about the current state of fundraising in the country and emerging trends in the NFP sector.
