Serving Communities

We are proud to work with tens of thousands of nonprofits around the world every year to provide them with affordable access to the technology they need to support their work in local communities.

Technology for Good

At Microsoft, we believe technology can do amazing things. That’s why we donate, on average, $1 million dollars a day in software to nonprofits around the world. In the hands of nonprofit organizations, technology can boost productivity, increase effectiveness through better collaboration, and extend services to new communities and individuals in need. Moreover, technology can be a powerful force that opens exciting opportunities for nonprofits to better achieve their missions and accelerate their impact.

Nonprofit Resources

Microsoft has the technology and resources to empower nonprofits to do more. Whether your favorite cause is a small organization serving a single community or a global nonprofit serving millions of people, Microsoft can support through software donations, training and monetary grants.
