Re: Will Microsoft’s Fundraising Template App Be Supported Long-Term?
Hi Christopher_Rajan, Thank you for your response. As mentioned above, Microsoft hasn't specified an end date for support. It's a good idea to stay updated with Microsoft's announcements and work closely with a Microsoft Partner to ensure your organization's needs are met and to plan for any future transitions.

Hi Needsnepal, Congratulations on achieving nonprofit status! It's great to see that you're ready to maximize your use of Microsoft products. Registering and assigning products after receiving nonprofit services can feel overwhelming at first. Here are clear steps to help you effectively assign users and products: blog: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/nonprofit-techies/now-that-i-ve-secured-approval-for-the-nonprofit-granted/ba-p/4190140 Additionally, once you've assigned a user a license, they will receive their credentials and instructions on how to log into office.com at the email address you provided. After logging in, they can access the online versions of Microsoft 365 apps/services or choose to install their desktop apps by clicking the "Install and more" button typically located in the top right-hand corner and selecting "Install Microsoft 365 apps."Re: New non profit account, can’t access admin panel
Hi Stewartgreenuk, I regret to learn of the difficulties you're encountering with your Microsoft nonprofit account access. Should your Microsoft 365 licenses be managed through GoDaddy, it is important to note that their admin center may prevent access to the Microsoft Nonprofit Tenant admin center. GoDaddy typically designates itself as your partner, which results in your login being redirected to their portal. Consequently, employing a domain linked to a GoDaddy-hosted domain will trigger a redirection of your account. To circumvent this, you may register a new account using an email and website independent of GoDaddy. This action will assign you a default .onmicrosoft.com domain, enabling full management of your Microsoft Nonprofit Account. Should the need arise to utilize your domain, engaging with a certified Microsoft Partner is advisable for further assistance.

mrb999 That's a really great question! Personally, I use AI as an aid and complement to my work rather than as a replacement for original ideas or thoughts. For example, if I am preparing a PowerPoint presentation for a meeting, I can use AI to assist (if needed) with creating visually appealing slides and layouts to best present my content, but the content itself and the narrative of the presentation will be my own responsibility. So, AI does have its value in enhancing things like efficiency, productivity, and quality of the work, but it doesn't replace the originality of thoughts/ideas. For me, my usage is on an "as needed" basis.🎉 Exciting News Alert! Nonprofit Techies Blog is Making a Grand Move! 🚀
