Microsoft 365 for Non-Profits

Microsoft 365 offers significant discounts to non-profit organisations, helping charities and non-profits access powerful business tools at a reduced rate. If your organisation qualifies, you can benefit from the same Microsoft 365 services that businesses use—at a fraction of the cost.

How Does It Work?

Non-profits can apply for discounted Microsoft 365 licences through Microsoft’s Nonprofit Program. This includes popular tools like Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel, and OneDrive, enabling charities to communicate, collaborate, and stay productive just like any other organisation.

While the service itself remains identical to standard Microsoft 365 plans, the key advantage is the cost-saving per user. These discounts can add up significantly, especially for organisations with multiple users.

Verification Process

To qualify for Microsoft’s non-profit pricing, your organisation must go through a verification process. This typically involves providing proof of your charitable status and meeting Microsoft’s eligibility criteria. While this step requires some input from senior management, once approved, your non-profit status remains in place, making it easy to maintain access to discounted licences over time.

Who Is Eligible?

Microsoft provides discounted licences to organisations that operate on a non-profit basis and serve a recognised charitable purpose. Some of the eligible groups include:

• Registered charities
• Non-profit organisations
• Community interest companies (CICs)
• Faith-based organisations with community initiatives
• Non-governmental organisations (NGOs)
