Operational, donation, campaign and financial data now sit in one analytics environment, giving leadership a single view of the organization.
Donation, financial and program data sat in separate tools, and every report was put together by hand.
One Microsoft Fabric lakehouse, with Power BI dashboards, an executive view and a data agent on top.
Leaders answer their own questions about giving and spending, and decisions no longer wait on a report.
Behind every program is a decision: where the next dollar goes, which campaign to run, what to tell the board. Those calls are easier when the numbers are in one place.
Morning Star Center is a nonprofit that works with vulnerable children, families and communities across Africa.
Its programs cover education, healthcare and maternity, child rescue and orphan care, and community outreach.
Morning Star’s leaders needed to see giving, spending and impact together. The data existed, but nobody could see all of it at once.
Operational, donation and financial data was spread across tools that didn’t talk to each other.
Leadership had no consolidated view of the organization’s finances.
Campaigns, donors and impact were hard to track, and slow manual reporting held decisions back.
We brought the data together first, then built the views leadership asked for on top of it.
We began with the questions leaders ask most: how revenue is pacing, how long cash will last, and how donations are being spent on each program. Then we connected BetterUnite, Stripe and NetSuite, plus programs data from Excel in SharePoint.
Morning Star’s data comes together in a single lakehouse on Microsoft Fabric.
Power BI dashboards for donations and financials, plus an executive dashboard for leadership.
A data agent lets staff ask questions in plain language and get answers from the same trusted data.
The executive dashboard: donations, financials and programs side by side.
The view leadership checks first.
Income and spending in one view.
Giving by campaign, donor and channel.
Questions in plain language, answered from the same data.

Leadership can now see donations, finances and programs side by side: how revenue is pacing against the annual goal, how long cash will last, and how many people programs reach. When a question comes up, they ask the data agent in plain language instead of waiting for a report.
The foundation is built to grow. Morning Star can add more data sources, dashboards, KPIs and advanced analytics as the organization grows.
More of every gift reaches children and families across Africa.
Every farmer gets advice that remembers their last call.
