Microsoft for Nonprofits

Microsoft for Nonprofits is Microsoft's in-kind support route for registered charitable organizations worldwide. It sits under Microsoft Corporation's philanthropy and gives eligible nonprofits a rolling way to access software and cloud support rather than cash. The program includes free Microsoft 365 seats for paid employees and executive staff, Azure credits that historically have run around $2,000 to $3,500 a year, and discounted licenses for broader staff use. Microsoft has also said it will deliver more than $5 billion in discounts, donations, and grants in the coming year across its nonprofit offering. Eligibility depends on recognized charitable status such as 501(c)(3) or a local equivalent, a not-for-profit operating model, a community-benefiting mission, and agreement to Microsoft's anti-discrimination terms. Applications are rolling, eligibility checks can take up to three business days, and the strongest fit is a nonprofit that needs software access and cloud credits rather than unrestricted funding. That speed matters for organizations that need seats, licenses, or credits turned on quickly.
