Global: Microsoft 365 Business Basic Is Free for Up to 300 Nonprofit Users

Microsoft currently lists Microsoft 365 Business Basic for eligible nonprofits as a grant that is free for up to 300 users. The plan includes web and mobile versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook, custom business email, Teams, and 1 TB of cloud storage per user, among other listed services. Availability can vary by country. Microsoft requires nonprofit eligibility validation, and granted licenses are restricted to paid nonprofit employees and qualifying unpaid executive staff; general volunteers can use discounted offers but not the grant licenses. Microsoft also requires organizations to maintain grant-license usage and may review eligibility. This record does not resurrect the discontinued Business Premium grant: Microsoft ended that separate donation at renewal on or after July 1, 2025. The checked current Business Basic pages do not state a universal payment-card requirement, so the card field is left unspecified.
