What is Microsoft for Nonprofits?

Important

Microsoft is transitioning select Microsoft nonprofit solutions from Microsoft-managed support to an open-source and partner-led foundation for the nonprofit ecosystem. Beginning February 1, 2027, Microsoft will no longer provide product engineering support for the affected solutions or guarantee future maintenance, updates, or compatibility. Your solution won't automatically stop working or be deleted on February 1, 2027, but future software updates, security needs, or connected systems might affect it. Depending on the solution, you may continue with an existing deployment, use open-source assets, or move to a partner-led or alternative solution when available. Review the guidance for your specific solution and plan your next step.

Microsoft for Nonprofits empowers scalable and transformative mission impact by helping nonprofit organizations engage with supporters and funders, deliver impactful programs, and improve the efficiency and security of their operations.

Microsoft for Nonprofits connects intelligent and integrated cloud capabilities of the Microsoft stack to the most common nonprofit organizational scenarios. These scenarios include constituent and supporter management, award management, fundraising, volunteer management, program design and delivery, operations, and data management. With the unification of once disparate data from across the organization, nonprofit organizations benefit from recommendations and insights critical to accelerating mission outcomes.

Microsoft for Nonprofits harnesses the power of Microsoft Power Platform, Microsoft 365, and Microsoft Azure.
