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 Matt
