# What Great Plains End-of-Life Means for Nonprofits

Microsoft Great Plains will reach end-of-life in 2029. Now is the time to plan a low-risk migration to the cloud — here's everything you need to know first.

** **

## From Great Plains to Greater Possibilities.

Great Plains has served nonprofits and public sector organizations well for decades, but its lifecycle is coming to an end. 

Microsoft has announced that Great Plains will reach end-of-life in 2029, with security patches ending in early 2031. 

It may seem like there is still plenty of time to plan your next move, but **nonprofits are especially vulnerable to the effects of waiting too long**.

Organizations that use public funding are subject to more scrutiny around how they spend those funds than for-profit businesses; as a result, those without modern, integrated reporting tools are already behind and at risk.

And, since most ERPs are built for for-profit businesses, the capacity of specialized vendors to help implement nonprofit-specific ERP will be more and more limited as the EOL date approaches.

**But along with the risk, there is significant opportunity on the horizon for nonprofits that are still using Great Plains.**

## What's at Stake for Nonprofits

When Great Plains reaches its sunset window, every organization still relying on it will be competing for the same migration resources at the same time. This won’t just include nonprofits—municipalities, school boards, healthcare organizations, and countless other public-sector and zero-based budgeting companies will all be trying to secure consultants, project managers, data specialists, and implementation teams from the same limited pool of consultants and vendors that specialize in not-for-profit organizations.

The result is a **predictable capacity crunch**: limited availability, less certainty around costs, and far fewer options for phased or well-timed transitions.

![NPO-FIN-2-1](https://nonprofit.sparkrock.com/hubfs/NPO-FIN-2-1.png)

Delaying migration only amplifies these risks. As GP moves deeper into its end-of-life cycle, support partners are already shifting their practices toward cloud-first ERP solutions like Business Central. That means the number of teams with meaningful GP expertise is shrinking, even as demand grows.

Migration windows across the Microsoft partner network are filling rapidly (especially for niche sectors like not-for-profit), and organizations that postpone planning will face **compressed timelines**, **rushed implementations**, and **reduced flexibility** around fiscal year considerations, data clean-up, and change management.

## Great Plains End-of-Life Timeline

As Microsoft winds down support, every year of delay increases risk and cost.

The nonprofits that start planning now will avoid the 2027 implementation bottleneck — and gain the advantage of a modern, cloud-based ERP built for their sector.

## Your GP End-of-Life Options

**With Great Plains’ EOL date approaching, nonprofits and public sector organizations in the Microsoft ecosystem have three options in 2026.**

- ![1-1](https://nonprofit.sparkrock.com/hubfs/1-1.png)
  
  ### Stay Temporarily
  
  Since Great Plains will continue to be updated until 2029, organizations can choose to use GP in 2026 and beyond. They can also defer their migration decision until 2027 or later—however, the rush to secure implementation partners has already begun, and vendor availability (particularly for specialized sectors like nonprofits) will be even more limited in 2027 and 2028.  
- ![gp-2](https://nonprofit.sparkrock.com/hubfs/gp-2.png)
  
  ### Migrate to Business Central
  
  Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is a solid option for not-for-profit organizations that are currently using Great Plains. It offers the familiarity of the Microsoft ecosystem, integration with other Microsoft applications, and modern cloud ERP functionality. Many nonprofit-specific capabilities will need to be added on via third-party integrations, which can drive up cost and complexity quickly.
- ![gp-3](https://nonprofit.sparkrock.com/hubfs/gp-3.png)
  
  ### Choose a Specialized ERP
  
  Organizations that want to stay in the robust Microsoft ecosystem but require nonprofit-specific functionality can choose Sparkrock, the cloud ERP that extends Business Central with features like fund accounting, commitments and encumbrances, fixed asset management, expense claims, collective agreement management, and more.

- Is Great Plains really end-of-life or will there be another extension?
  
  
  
  Microsoft [officially announced in September 2024](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics-365/blog/it-professional/2024/09/25/announcing-end-of-support-for-dynamics-gp/) that Dynamics GP will reach the end of mainstream and extended support on December 31, 2029, with security patches continuing until April 30, 2031. This timeline was slightly extended in early 2025 to cover one final year-end update cycle. 
  
  While Microsoft has occasionally provided short extensions in the past (for year-end tax updates or technical fixes), it has made it clear that GP’s long-term future lies in Business Central and other cloud solutions. The 2029 / 2031 dates are now firmly aligned with Microsoft’s broader move away from on-premise ERP systems. Another extension is highly unlikely, and organizations should plan migration efforts with the current deadlines in mind. 
- What does “end-of-life” actually mean for my organization? Will Great Plains stop working?
  
  
  
  “End-of-life” doesn’t mean your Great Plains system will suddenly stop running. It means Microsoft will no longer release updates, tax or regulatory changes, or non-security fixes after 2029. You’ll still be able to log in, enter transactions, and run reports, but the system will become increasingly vulnerable over time. Third-party integrations that you may rely on will start to break as they update independently and become incompatible with a legacy ERP.  
  
  Without vendor support, routine tasks like updating Windows could cause significant GP downtime. Payroll, fund accounting, and reporting tools may drift out of compliance with CRA or IRS rules, meaning that critical figures like CPP/EI contributions could be miscalculated. By 2030, GP effectively becomes a “frozen” application, leaving IT teams to manage security, maintenance, and compliance risks on their own. 
  
  Critically, once Microsoft stops releasing security patches in early 2030, any data still in Great Plains will be extremely vulnerable to threat actors, putting your financial information at significant risk. 
- Will we lose access to our data when Great Plains support ends or when we migrate?
  
  
  
  No — your data will still be yours. However, once Great Plains reaches end-of-life, how you access and use that data becomes more complex. Legacy systems will no longer receive database or integration updates, and newer reporting tools may not connect properly.
  
  When migrating, Sparkrock helps you:
  
    - Migrate key master data and active balances directly into Sparkrock ERP,
    - Archive historical transactions in a secure, searchable data lake or Power BI workspace, and
    - Maintain complete audit and reporting trails.
  
  This ensures you retain visibility into every transaction and can respond to audits or board requests even after decommissioning GP.
- How long does a typical migration take?
  
  
  
  Most nonprofits and public sector organizations complete their migration in six to nine months, depending on data volume, module complexity, and internal capacity. 
  
  The project typically includes a readiness assessment (2–4 weeks), data migration and configuration (2–3 months), training and testing (1–2 months), and a go-live phase aligned to your fiscal year. Organizations with multi-entity consolidations or custom integrations may require additional time, but careful planning helps minimize downtime and ensures continuity during critical grant or payroll periods. 
- Will our reports, budgets, or fund structures carry over from Great Plains and connected Microsoft products (like Power BI)?
  
  
  
  Yes, and in most cases, they improve. Sparkrock is designed to replicate and modernize the key financial structures nonprofits rely on: funds, grants, cost centers, and encumbrances. During migration, our team maps your chart of accounts and reporting dimensions from GP into Sparkrock Finance. 
  
  We also leverage Microsoft Power BI to rebuild and enhance your existing reports with real-time dashboards, automated drill-downs, and configurable board-report templates. You’ll retain historical continuity while gaining faster and more flexible insights. 
- When is the right time to start planning a migration?
  
  
  
  If your organization wants to migrate before GP starts to pose a risk to data security and operational integrity, the best time to start is within your next budgeting cycle. Most nonprofits plan major system investments at least 12–18 months in advance, meaning your 2026 or 2027 budget is the last realistic opportunity to allocate funds for implementation before the partner backlog begins. 
  
  Starting early also gives your team time for training, data cleanup, and process mapping, avoiding the last-minute rush that many organizations faced during previous ERP sunsets. 
- What resources or internal roles should be involved in migration planning?
  
  
  
  Successful migrations require collaboration across several departments. Typically:
  
    - **Finance and Accounting** lead requirements-gathering and testing.
    - **IT **manages integrations, data export, and security.
    - **HR or Payroll** teams ensure workforce data transitions correctly.
    - **Leadership or Board** approves the budget and oversees risk mitigation.
  
  Sparkrock supports this cross-functional process with guided workshops and nonprofit-specific project templates, ensuring everyone understands their role and deliverables.
- How can we estimate the cost of migrating from Great Plains?
  
  
  
  Costs vary depending on organization size, number of users, and integration complexity. Some lower-cost ERP options for nonprofits come with significant functionality gaps, so any initial savings are soon wiped out by add-on costs.  
  
  In general, nonprofits can expect the total cost of ownership for a modern, purpose-built cloud ERP to be lower than maintaining Great Plains or a more “general” cloud ERP — eliminating additional costs like servers, backups, manual reporting, and separate integrations. 
  
  If you’d like to find out what your exact ERP costs will be, [book a Sparkrock demo](https://nonprofit.sparkrock.com/book-a-demo?hsLang=en) and we’ll ask you the right questions in order to customize pricing for your organization. 
- Why should nonprofits or public sector organizations choose Sparkrock instead of Business Central or a more “generic” cloud ERP?
  
  
  
  Unlike ERP systems built for profit-driven businesses, Sparkrock is purpose-built for mission-driven organizations. It includes fund accounting, grant tracking, encumbrances, and integrated HR and payroll, all within Microsoft’s secure cloud environment. 
  
  Because Sparkrock is built on the Dynamics 365 Business Central platform, it delivers the same reliability and innovation of Microsoft’s ecosystem while layering on nonprofit-specific functionality that other systems lack. As a result, our customers benefit from faster audits, cleaner reporting, and less time spent reconciling systems. 
- What are the first steps we should take to get off of Great Plains?
  
  
  
  The first step is to [book a migration strategy call](https://nonprofit.sparkrock.com/great-plains-migration#migration-strategy). In this low-stakes session, we’ll ask you a few questions about your organization to help us determine which experts to bring to the table for a Migration Strategy call. During that call, our team reviews your current GP setup, identifies key modules and integrations, and helps you build a phased migration plan aligned with your fiscal year and staffing capacity. 
  
  From there, we can provide a readiness checklist, sample project timeline, and cost estimate so you can begin budgeting confidently. 

## The Hidden Opportunity for Nonprofits

To put it bluntly, no one gets *excited* about tackling an ERP migration project. They take time and they can disrupt normal operations. There is a learning curve for users and some folks don't want to have to change the way they've been working for a long time. **All of this is normal.**

**But here's another blunt truth:** nonprofits and public sector organizations still on GP don't have a choice. Within a matter of months, their ERP will become obsolete and unsupported, and create a growing number of operational and security risks. Waiting until 2028 or 2029 to decide on a migration plan will be the equivalent of waiting until Christmas Eve to do your holiday gift-buying—you'll be competing with a crowd of last-minute ERP shoppers, lines will be long, budgets will be exceeded, and the whole experience will be unnecessarily frustrating for you and your team.

#### It's time to get proactive about your nonprofit's long-term operational health.

Organizations that plan carefully and migrate intentionally can benefit early from **purpose-built ERP** that will save them time, money, and unnecessary stress *every* year—not just in 2029.
