Find Nonprofit Resources Grant Benefits and Support

The right software is just one part of improving your organization’s efficiency and effectiveness. Support, training, and tools can help you evaluate your technology needs and get the most out of your software.

Grant Benefits and Support

Microsoft software donations include several valuable benefits (referred to as Software Assurance benefits) to help you get the greatest value from your software. After your organization is awarded a grant from the Microsoft Software Donation Program, you are entitled to access several benefits for a period of two years from the date of your donation. These Software Assurance benefits apply to donations received directly from Microsoft or via our nonprofit software donation partner, TechSoup Global.

Microsoft E-Learning Gain access to self-paced, interactive training that is developed by Microsoft experts. Your software benefits must be activated before you can access and use Microsoft E-Learning.
