Microsoft 365 E7 - discounts for nonprofits?
Hi Elevate team With the release of the E7 SKU just around the corner, are you able to advise if there will be a nonprofit discount/grant for this licensing tier? I have had a number of large nonprofits expressing interest in the product and asking about pricing. Considering that E5 has a 60% discount, is it likely that E7 will have a similar discount applied to it? A discount could provide a large benefit to nonprofits and an opportunity for nonprofit partners. Thanks MattPower Apps per app End of Sale
Hi Microsoft Elevate team Firstly, Happy New Year to you all! I wanted to reach out regarding an important update in the January 2026 Power Platform Licensing Guide. It appears that Power Apps per app licenses have been marked as “End of Sale,” which represents a significant change for nonprofits. Could you please provide clarity on the following points regarding the 10 free/grant Power Apps per app licenses? Until when will nonprofits be able to purchase these licenses? How long will existing licenses remain usable? (Ideally, at least 12 months if not longer.) Once the grant for per app licenses is discontinued, will there be a comparable offering? e.g. grants for Power Apps Premium licenses? This is a significant part of Microsoft's nonprofit offer and a key reason many organisations choose the Power Platform over competing solutions. Nearly all of our nonprofit customers have leveraged this benefit and subsequently invested in additional Microsoft products, including Copilot. Discontinuing this could have a significant impact on both nonprofits and partners who serve them. I appreciate any guidance you can provide on this matter. Thank you, MattREMINDER: Elevate Innovation Partner Connection Calls - Feb 5 (EMEA)
