Microsoft Unlimited Potential partners with non-governmental organizations

Challenges & Opportunities for NGOs

Non-governmental organizations (NGOs), also referred to as non-profit organizations, offer essential services for underserved communities that fill the gap between the private sector and governmental programs. In doing so, they are often the closest to the needs of stakeholders involved. Yet despite the crucial role they play, many NGOs lack the latest technology, skills, and other resources that would allow them to operate in a more efficient and cost-effective manner.

Microsoft has a long history of working with NGOs to help them improve their performance and extend their services to benefit more people. Through close engagement, Microsoft provides NGO partners with:

  • monetary donations
  • software and curriculum donations
  • employee giving and volunteer programs
  • programs that directly benefit the communities that NGOs serve
  • technological expertise to design solutions specifically tailored to address international, regional, and local needs
