Microsoft's Nonprofit Grant Changes: Emergency Action Required for Your Organization
URGENT: If your nonprofit uses Microsoft 365 Business Premium or Office 365 E1 through Microsoft's grant program, this episode could save your organization thousands of dollars.
Microsoft just announced they're ending their most valuable nonprofit grants - and most nonprofit leaders have no idea what's coming or how to prepare for it.
Your organization could face unexpected costs of $1,000-$5,000+ annually if you don't act now.
In this emergency episode, you'll discover:
- Exactly what Microsoft is eliminating and when it affects your organization
- The hidden costs most nonprofits aren't calculating (it's not just the software licenses)
- 4 immediate actions you must take this week to protect your budget
- Alternative solutions that might actually work better than Microsoft (and cost less)
Critical for: Any nonprofit currently using Microsoft grants, considering applying for Microsoft grants, or responsible for technology budgeting and planning.
Time-sensitive: Microsoft hasn't announced exact deadlines (possibly July 1 for some organizations), but organizations that wait to address this will have fewer options and face higher costs.
The bottom line: This change affects thousands of nonprofits and could blindside organizations that don't plan ahead. But with the right strategy, you can navigate this transition without breaking your budget or disrupting your operations.
Don't get caught unprepared. Listen now and take action before this impacts your organization's bottom line.
