How Nonprofits & Social Purpose Organizations Can Connect Fundraising to Impact Measurement

Updated: Jul 1


At threshold.world, our mission is simple yet profound: make it matter. We strive to leave the world better than we found it by partnering with nonprofits and social impact organizations to help them do more good through the power of technology.


We support our mission through two powerful software platforms:


1. Microsoft Cloud for Nonprofit (MC4N)

Built on Dynamics 365

MC4N provides a robust foundation for tracking data across key areas like fundraising, constituents, volunteers, and program efforts. We implement this platform for mid- to enterprise-scale nonprofits and healthcare foundations, enabling them to:


  • Seamlessly link donations to outcomes

  • Raise more funds with greater efficiency

  • Manage grants and execute programs more effectively

  • Track goals and metrics tied to program success


MC4N excels at managing complex operational processes—from donor engagement to fund allocation and volunteer tracking. It also supports program data capture, including success indicators. However, while it's powerful in function, it lacks intuitive, user-friendly ways to visualize and communicate that impact.


That’s not a flaw—it’s simply not what the platform was built for.


This is where b.world shines.


AI-powered, intuitive impact measurement and storytelling



Purpose-built for the social impact and sustainability sector, b.world is designed to help teams:


  • Design clear, structured program frameworks

  • Visually map logframes with intuitive, color-coded hierarchies

  • Reuse indicators and outcomes through element libraries

  • Automatically generate graphs and charts based on entered data

  • Seamlessly craft narratives using the Stories module

  • Accelerate design and reporting with embedded generative AI


In short, b.world goes beyond capturing data—it helps you make meaning from it. It enables your team to design, measure, and tell the story of your impact in a format that’s as intuitive as it is powerful.


Visualizing the Difference: MC4N vs. b.world


Take a look at how each platform handles project design. MC4N provides structured input screens based on data integrity and process logic.


b.world, in contrast, presents a visual, whiteboard-style interface enhanced by AI tools, tailored for impact design and storytelling. They are built for different—yet complementary—needs.

Why Choose Between Them, When You Can Use Both?


Many organizations ask: "If MC4N handles fundraising and budgeting so well, and b.world supports program design and M&E, can I use both?"


The answer is yes—and we encourage it.


Use the best of each platform. Where MC4N provides fundraising, sales, and CRM excellence, b.world complements it with unparalleled programmatic design and storytelling capabilities. And if basic features within either system suffice for some needs, use them too. The goal is not overlap—it’s synergy.


What’s Next: Deep Integration for Greater Insight


We’re excited to share that we’re actively working on integrating b.world with threshold.world’s FundrAIsing app, our proprietary fundraising solution built on MC4N’s fundraising core. This will eventually replace the soon-to-be-retired 'Fundraising and Engagement' module by the end of 2026.


This integration unlocks several powerful possibilities:

  • Linking donations directly to impact outcomes

  • Seeing a full programmatic view within fundraising records

  • Accessing b.world projects and stories without leaving the FundrAIsing app

  • Using AI to enrich both financial data and impact narratives


In short, we’re building a unified experience that brings together dollars, data, and the difference you make.
