Discontinuation of M365 Business Premium Grant Deeply Disappointing,Harmful to Small Nonprofits
Opening the inbox today to the same message, and I agree - the carriers of community development already bear a huge load in the practice of their work. Many don't have the resources to pay for IT services, not to mention the expertise to outsource now each potential service that had been included in these grants. It would be great of MS to continue supporting those agencies that are contributing to the wellbeing of people all around the world. These messages of a phase out add to the stress of those trying to find the best solutions for their day to day work. What are now the alternatives? Pay more, ask more donors to fill the pockets of big-tech firms? OR find individual solutions that see the value of non-profit work and leaving the tech-giants behind? No government or global corporation can fill the gap that all these little organisations have been covering. Sounds like Goliath stepped out and all the Davids of this world now need to pick up rocks somewhere.
