Definitions: • Grant: Any donated offer Microsoft provides to nonprofits (no cost to nonprofits) • Assigned Licenses: when an organization assigns a license to a specific user, these licenses are considered assigned. • Utilization: 85% of assigned license users need to be using at least one Microsoft 365 cloud service within the past 90 days. These cloud services include Exchange Online, Yammer, Microsoft Teams, and Microsoft 365 Apps. This does not include installed or on-premises solutions. Resources: • Microsoft FAQ (PDF): https://aka.ms/NonprofitGrantFAQ Microsoft now requires any organization with a donation product (Office 365 E1, E2 (old), M365 Business Basic, M365 Business Premium) to utilize the licenses at a rate of at least 85%. Key Impact: • Organizations that are currently not achieving 85% usage will be deactivated by Microsoft and may risk being disqualified from future donation offers. • Organizations will need to actively manage donated licenses.
