Nonprofits Are Shaping What Comes Next
At the Global Nonprofit Leaders Summit, nonprofit leaders and technologists came together to learn from one another during a time of rapid change. As shared in the original Microsoft for Nonprofits post, the strongest takeaway wasn’t that anyone has all the answers—it was that progress now depends on trust, partnership, and continuous learning as AI reshapes how work gets done across missions and communities. Across sessions, leaders focused on practical learning: asking better questions, testing responsibly, and bringing teams along without losing sight of the people they serve. One theme stood out clearly—learning is no longer a one‑time transition, but an ongoing leadership capability. As AI accelerates timelines and expectations, leaders are intentionally creating space for curiosity, experimentation, and strategic thinking to adapt responsibly and lead with intention rather than urgency. Equally central were conversations about inclusion, trust, and data stewardship, especially for organizations handling sensitive or personal data. Governance, ethics, and security surfaced not as barriers to innovation, but as essential enablers—recognizing that meaningful impact only scales when communities trust the systems and institutions behind them. Partnerships also emerged as critical to durable impact. Leaders emphasized that collaboration across nonprofits, philanthropy, and technology partners is what turns pilots into repeatable, real‑world outcomes through shared learning and collective problem‑solving. These themes came to life through stories from organizations like Children International, Goodwill NYNJ, and Answer ALS, illustrating how technology—used thoughtfully—can strengthen operations, accelerate outcomes, and deepen mission impact. Looking ahead, one message was clear: nonprofits aren’t waiting for the future to arrive—they are actively shaping it. Through purposeful leadership, trusted partnerships, and responsible technology adoption, nonprofits are defining what comes next for their missions and the communities they serve.

For years, organizations were forced to choose between productivity and security. More protection often meant more friction, while greater flexibility increased risk. Today’s digital environment demands a different model—one where security and productivity reinforce each other rather than compete. This is the idea behind secure productivity: empowering employees to work the way they need to while data, identities, devices, and systems are protected seamlessly in the background. As work becomes more distributed and threats become more advanced, organizations can no longer afford a tradeoff between speed and safety—they need both. A modern secure productivity strategy relies on AI‑powered, intelligent security that adapts to real‑world behavior. By detecting anomalies, stopping threats early, and automating routine protection, AI reduces burden on IT teams while allowing employees to stay focused. Combined with a Zero Trust approach—where every access request is continuously verified—security becomes stronger without slowing people down. Secure productivity ultimately: Reduces organizational risk Improves employee experience and confidence Supports remote, hybrid, and AI‑enabled work Accelerates innovation while protecting what matters most As AI reshapes how work gets done, a strong, intelligent security foundation ensures organizations can move forward confidently instead of cautiously. 👉 For the complete explanation, deeper insights, and supporting context, refer to: https://aka.ms/CrackingtheCodetoSecureProductivityHow Goodwill Opens More Doors for Job Seekers with Barriers to Employment Using AI
Goodwill NYNJ’s mission has always been clear: help people with disabilities and other barriers to employment find meaningful work. But with resumes arriving in every format imaginable—and staff manually reformatting each one—the process often slowed down opportunities for qualified candidates. That changed when Goodwill partnered with Microsoft at Hack4Good. Together with GoodTemps, Microsoft, Redapt, and student technologists, they built Resume Builder, an AI‑powered tool that quickly turns scattered resume information into a clean, professional format while keeping humans in full control of final approvals. The impact has been immediate. Goodwill has processed hundreds of resumes, saved nearly 200 staff hours, and helped job seekers get to interviews 25% faster—freeing staff to focus on coaching candidates and engaging employers rather than fixing formatting issues. Why it matters for nonprofits Goodwill’s experience shows how mission‑driven organizations can use AI responsibly to scale impact, reduce staff burden, and move faster without sacrificing the human connection at the heart of their work. When nonprofits co‑create technology with the communities they serve, innovation becomes not just efficient—but equitable.

As organizations move toward passwordless authentication and stronger identity protection, having a reliable fallback mechanism becomes essential. That’s where Temporary Access Pass (TAP) comes in. TAP provides a time-limited passcode that users can use to register passwordless methods—such as Passkeys (FIDO2), Microsoft Authenticator, or certificate-based authentication—without requiring their existing password or MFA methods. For nonprofits and mission-driven organizations, TAP helps reduce account lockouts, simplifies onboarding, and strengthens security. What Is Temporary Access Pass (TAP)? Temporary Access Pass is a secure, limited-duration authentication method that allows: Secure onboarding of new users Recovery when users lose access to authentication methods Registration of passwordless sign-in methods Key characteristics: Time-limited Single-use or multi-use Assigned to specific users or groups Automatically expires and cannot be reused ✅ Licensing requirement: Microsoft Entra ID P1 or higher (included in Microsoft 365 Business Premium). Why TAP Prevents Lockouts TAP addresses common access issues: Lost MFA device: Users can reconfigure authentication methods Forgotten password: Users can move directly to passwordless sign-in New user setup: No need to share passwords insecurely Recovery scenarios: Provides an alternate path when normal sign-in fails Step 1: Enable TAP in Microsoft Entra Admin Center Open the Microsoft Entra admin center Navigate to: Entra ID → Authentication methods → Policies Select Temporary Access Pass Set Enable → On Assign to selected users or groups Start with a pilot group before broader rollout. Step 2: Configure TAP Policy Settings Lifetime settings Default: 1 hour Maximum: up to 8 hours (or more, if required) (Although Microsoft allows longer durations, shorter lifetimes increase security.) Usage Type One-time (recommended): Admin recovery Sensitive or privileged access Multi-use: Bulk onboarding Temporary workforce Assignments Recommended groups: Administrators Helpdesk staff (trained) New user onboarding groups Avoid assigning to all users without proper controls. Step 3: Create a TAP for a User Go to Entra ID → Users Select the user Choose Authentication methods Click Add authentication method Select Temporary Access Pass Configure: Lifetime One-time or multi-use Start time Select Add Security note: Deliver the TAP securely—never via email or unsecured messaging. Step 4: Use TAP for Secure Registration or Recovery Users redeem TAP at: https://aka.ms/mysecurityinfo This portal allows users to do the following by simplifying adding a sign-in method: Register passkeys (FIDO2) Set up Microsoft Authenticator Configure Windows Hello Recover access if MFA is unavailable TAP enables users to sign in without needing their existing password or MFA methods, providing a secure, time-limited path for onboarding and account recovery. Best Practices for Nonprofits Using TAP 1. Restrict who can issue TAP Limit to: Global/Admin roles Security or helpdesk staff 2. Use Just-In-Time generation Create TAP only when needed Never store or reuse codes 3. Enforce expiration discipline Keep lifetimes short Avoid long-lived passes 4. Monitor all usage Review sign-in logs Monitor authentication method activity 5. Align with Conditional Access Use TAP during Report-only testing Ensure policies allow TAP as a valid authentication method Conclusion Temporary Access Pass is one of the most effective tools organizations can use to: Prevent account lockouts Simplify onboarding Accelerate passwordless adoption Strengthen identity security When combined with Conditional Access and emergency access accounts, TAP becomes a key part of a resilient identity strategy.
