Microsoft 365 Business Premium grant is being discontinued

Thank you for your feedback. We encourage you to listen to the Office Hours session that was just released if you were unable to attend. Also, please reach out via the Partner Desk with questions and support options.
Yeah, got the same notice. And Microsoft NFP program still promoting the "10 free" grant -- clearly not the case. Copilot's headline summary of what we lose by downgrading: the desktop versions of Office apps, and EntraID. (Can still use Active Directory.)
For the desktop apps alone, the delta cost for a non-profit seems to be $66/user/year ($5.50/mo billed annually), vs. buying a personal subscription retail for $69.99. Or there's the Family subscription, which covers 6 users - but interpretation of the licensing language for that one is up to you...
