Frequently asked questions

Microsoft provides grants and discounts for eligible nonprofit organizations, including cloud services like Microsoft 365, Azure and Dynamics 365, Surface hardware, on-premises software, and digital skilling. Please note that not every program may be available in every country.

First, review their eligibility guidelines and then get started by applying for a product grant or discount.

We are here to guide you through the process of installing software on your organisation’s devices for your dedicated users.

Nonprofit and nongovernmental organizations must:

  • Hold recognised legal charitable status as defined in their countries
  • Operate on a not-for-profit basis
  • Have a mission to benefit the broader community
  • Attest to Microsoft’s anti-discrimination policy
  • Only assign licenses to eligible staff
  • Only use the licenses for their organisation and not license partner, affiliate, or sister organisations.

Learn more about eligibility.

Microsoft strives to make eligibility determinations as quickly as possible, and the process can take up to 10 business days. This timeframe can vary depending on nonprofit responsiveness to requests for additional documentation and country requirements.

Nonprofit grants are permitted only for paid nonprofit employees, and unpaid executive staff who act as leadership for the nonprofit. Nonprofit discounts are permitted for all nonprofit staff and volunteers. Nonprofit program participants, members and donors are NOT eligible for nonprofit licenses and subscriptions.
