The Grant Most Orgs Never Claim

Microsoft gives away or deeply discounts Microsoft 365 for eligible nonprofits — free Business Premium licenses for up to 10 users, steep discounts beyond that, and donated security tooling most organizations never touch. Yet we regularly meet LA nonprofits paying full commercial rates, or sitting on granted licenses with none of the security features turned on. Advanced Networks handles the whole arc: eligibility, grant licensing, migration, security configuration, and day-to-day management.

The money this frees up is real — for a 40-person organization, licensing corrections alone often fund other technology the mission needs.

  • License right-sizing across staff and volunteers

What We Deliver

From Eligibility to Everyday Use

One team owns the grant, the migration, the security, and the support.

✅
Eligibility and grant licensing
We verify your status with Microsoft, claim the granted licenses (free Business Premium up to 10 seats, ~75% discounts beyond), and structure the tenant so every seat is the right type — including free options for volunteers and part-timers.
🔀
Migration without disruption
From aging servers, Google, or consumer email into a properly structured tenant — scheduled around your program calendar and fundraising events.
🗂️
SharePoint built for how nonprofits work
File architecture organized by program, funder, and year — board records, grant files, and case documents findable years later. See our SharePoint services.
🔐
Security features actually enabled
MFA enforced, conditional access on, Intune managing staff devices — the security you already own, switched on. Related: nonprofit cybersecurity.
👥
Staff and volunteer lifecycle
Fast onboarding for staff, interns, and volunteer cohorts; clean same-day offboarding; and licensing that flexes so you never pay for ghosts.
🤝
Ongoing administration
Mailboxes, permissions, storage, Teams governance, and Microsoft escalations — handled, at nonprofit-scoped flat rates.
The Patterns

Where Nonprofit Tenants Go Wrong

Found in nearly every review — all fixable.

01
Paying commercial rates
For licenses Microsoft grants free or at deep discount.
02
Granted licenses, unconfigured security
Business Premium’s MFA, Intune, and conditional access sitting unused.
03
Files scattered
Across personal OneDrives, old servers, and email attachments.
04
Departed staff and volunteers
Still holding active, licensed accounts.
05
No retention policy
For board records, grant files, and donor correspondence.
06
Teams chaos
Or Teams unused while the organization pays for it.

Real Outcomes

Case-Study Snapshots

Anonymized where needed — real LA engagements.

01
The licensing review that bought laptops
A 40-person organization paying commercial rates qualified for granted and discounted licensing worth over $20,000 a year. The savings funded a full laptop refresh for program staff.
02
Security they already owned
An agency with granted Business Premium had no MFA and no device management — the features were simply off. Three weeks later the insurer’s renewal checklist passed on every line.
03
Fifteen years of files, findable
A foundation’s records lived on a dying server and in personal drives. We migrated everything into a program/funder/year SharePoint structure; grant reporting time dropped noticeably the first quarter.
Frequently Asked Questions

Nonprofit M365 Questions, Answered

What operations directors ask about the grant program.

Which nonprofits qualify for Microsoft grants?
501(c)(3) organizations generally qualify, with some category exclusions. We verify eligibility as step one — it takes days, not months.
What does Microsoft actually give for free?
Business Premium for up to 10 users at no cost, roughly 75% discounts on many licenses beyond that, and donated security tooling. Most eligible organizations claim only a fraction.
Can volunteers get accounts without full licenses?
Yes — there are free and low-cost license types appropriate for volunteers and part-timers. We structure the tenant so cost follows actual use.
We’re on Google Workspace. Should we switch?
Not automatically — Google has a nonprofit program too. We’ll compare honestly based on your workflows; when M365 wins, we migrate cleanly.
Does the granted licensing include security features?
Business Premium includes MFA, conditional access, and Intune — enterprise-grade security, free at small scale. It just has to be configured, which is where we come in.
What does this cost?
Setup and management are part of our nonprofit-scoped flat-rate plans. See our pricing guide.
