As a not for profit, we try and invest every dollar we can into provision of services for the benefit of people. We do however recognise the value of technology in improving our service delivery, and universal Print is absolutely the solution we need for printing as we increasingly move our infrastructure into the cloud.
For us, the current pricing model is a major barrier to adoption - to the point where we currently just can't afford to do it. We'd like to see a not for profit pricing model that better reflects NFP's capacity to fund 'nice to have' (but crucial) infrastructure services like UP - it will enable us to adopt new technology while maintaining our commitment to focusing our financial resources on people.

This is a real issue since the per user license only gives you 5 print jobs User/Month and non profits tend to have much higher print volume than this.
I'm also interested in non-profit pricing for Universal Print additional print volume. We buy all of our subscription based licensing through the microsoft 365 admin portal, but Universal Print isn't available there to purchase from the non-profit section. How can we get access to non-profit pricing for this?
Hi team,
Yes - we can get non-profit pricing on Universal Print, but only on the 5 per-user monthly allocation. Our users tend to print small runs, but fairly often - so most users are going to use their allocated volumes within the first week (sometimes the first day) of the month. We'd need to purchase additional print volume licenses to be able to reliably print.
Larger volumes to not appear to be covered by NFP pricing - I can only see them on the Business tab of the Purchase services screen. This seems to be confirmed by our local CSP distributor, who advise that NFP pricing on additional print volumes is not available.

Dave_Eggers - This is already supported. You can reach out to partners that offer non-profit pricing for relevant pricing of Universal Print. For more information check out - Microsoft 365 Nonprofit Solutions | Microsoft Nonprofits.
Once you have the non-profit pricing, please let us know if you have any further feedback.
Thanks,
Saurabh
