Microsoft 365 Business Premium grant being discontinued

July 9, 2025 by Michael Simkins

Does your nonprofit currently enjoy a Microsoft 365 Business Premium grant? If so, not for long. The company announced this program will expire September 1, 2025.

Capital Campaign Pro’s Steven Shattuck has written a concise blog post that outlines the changes and suggests some alternatives. It also has a link to join an effort to convince Microsoft to reverse course.

Techsoup has current information on what nonprofit discounts will still be available if you qualify and want to continue your use of Microsoft 365.
