Microsoft Philanthropies focuses on expanding digital inclusion and nonprofit digital capacity by providing cloud credits, software donations/discounts, technical support, and occasional cash or hardware to strategic partners. They prioritize computer science education for underrepresented youth, nonprofit productivity (CRM, automation, analytics), and projects that use AI and cloud infrastructure to scale impact. Support is global but delivered regionally through Microsoft Nonprofits and partners such as TechSoup.
Primarily in-kind technology donations, product discounts, and cloud credits distributed via the Microsoft Nonprofits program and regional partners (often rolling enrollment). Strategic cash or hardware grants are occasional and largely invitation-only; some targeted multi-year partnerships exist. Application/availability varies by country and often routes through TechSoup or Microsoft’s local nonprofit portal.

Register your organization with Microsoft Nonprofits and (where required) TechSoup to access Azure credits and software donations; most offers are rolling but region-specific, so check your country page. For Dynamics 365/Power Platform benefits, prepare evidence of nonprofit status and use-case for CRM/automation. For larger cash or hardware support, cultivate relationships with local Microsoft community or regional philanthropy staff—these opportunities are typically invite-only.
