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

Microsoft's current nonprofit pricing lists Microsoft 365 Business Basic as a grant that is free for up to 300 eligible nonprofit users. The plan includes web and mobile versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, custom business email, Microsoft Teams, 1 TB of cloud storage per user, additional Microsoft 365 services, and Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat capabilities included with the plan. This grant is for organizations that pass Microsoft for Nonprofits eligibility validation; it is not a general consumer giveaway. Microsoft says nonprofit eligibility is reviewed through a validation process and approved organizations can claim offers in the Nonprofit Hub. To apply, begin the Microsoft for Nonprofits eligibility process, register or connect the organization's tenant, wait for validation, then claim the Microsoft 365 Business Basic grant from the Nonprofit Hub or nonprofit plan flow. Maintain compliant licensing and active use because Microsoft can reduce or remove nonprofit benefits for program abuse.
