Whether you need essentials such as Office apps or want to enhance your work with AI, we have you covered, with special pricing just for nonprofits. Below you'll find a collection of TechSoup's Microsoft offerings, from cloud solutions to traditional desktop apps to services and support. ![](https://www.techsoup.ca/sites/default/files/screenshot_2026-04-14_161759.png) ## Microsoft 365 The technology world is shifting toward cloud-based applications and services. With that in mind, we recommend that nonprofits, if possible, begin to shift to cloud solutions. We strongly suggest that nonprofits opt for the [Microsoft 365 cloud solutions](https://www.techsoup.ca/product-catalog?order_by=most-popular&filter_donor_partner=326&filter_software_category=&filter_media=&filter_platform=&form_build_id=form-8IL-kCQYXuUqJCb1igmjUrcQ67jouZfH2tfx1URPNTo&form_token=6BK5NiW6dhLwV3jp2yzwgjfi_p-skfAQ-cWtrRFKD3I&form_id=ts_stock_product_catalog_filters_form), which gives you the best of Office applications and Windows, plus much more. You can increase collaboration at your organization with Teams and benefit from online storage and document sharing capabilities provided by tools like OneDrive and SharePoint. Cloud-based email with Outlook is a major plus for a remote workforce, and licenses also include work management tools of Power Apps, Power Automate, Planner, and To Do. The Microsoft 365 Business Premium plan comes with upgrade rights to Windows 11 Enterprise and the latest Office applications, and you receive updates for as long as you subscribe. Microsoft 365 Business Standard includes both cloud and desktop versions of Office applications, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. All Microsoft Cloud licenses obtained through TechSoup now include Cloud Support Services delivered by TechSoup. It is an exclusive collection of personalized services designed to help you get the most out of the Microsoft Cloud subscriptions. Many organizations choose Microsoft 365 Copilot as their AI solution because it fully integrates with Microsoft applications like Teams, Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. In addition, its [enterprise-grade data protection](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/copilot/enterprise-data-protection) and [privacy and security protections](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/copilot/microsoft-365/microsoft-365-copilot-privacy) can assist organizations to meet compliance requirements and ethical AI use goals. [Learn more about nonprofit pricing here](https://www.techsoup.ca/content/microsoft-copilot-nonprofit-cloud-subscriptions). [GET MICROSOFT 365](https://www.techsoup.ca/product-catalog?order_by=most-popular&filter_donor_partner=326&filter_software_category=&filter_media=&filter_platform=&form_build_id=form-8IL-kCQYXuUqJCb1igmjUrcQ67jouZfH2tfx1URPNTo&form_token=6BK5NiW6dhLwV3jp2yzwgjfi_p-skfAQ-cWtrRFKD3I&form_id=ts_stock_product_catalog_filters_form) ## Desktop Productivity Applications Although the world is moving to the cloud overall, we also understand that many organizations still need traditional desktop programs. Below are some of the most popular donated and discounted Microsoft products that we offer. #### Microsoft Office 2024 Standard Edition Microsoft's venerable productivity suite is a popular choice among nonprofits, and it isn't hard to see why. Office Standard includes the core Office apps — Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote — and is a good option for most users. We offer the Mac version of Office, as well. Office Standard and [Office for Mac](https://www.techsoup.ca/content/office-mac-discounted-%E2%80%93-no-software-assurance) are both available at nonprofit discount rates with or without Software Assurance. Qualified organizations that require software for shared-access devices can access the [donated offer of Office Standard 2024](https://www.techsoup.ca/content/office-standard-%E2%80%93-no-software-assurance-computer-labs-only). This includes nonprofits that operate training centers, computer labs, or public-access devices. [GET OFFICE STANDARD](https://www.techsoup.ca/content/office-standard-discounted-no-software-assurance) #### Windows 11 Upgrade Microsoft ended support for Windows 10 in 2025, which means that this version no longer receives patches or security updates. If you are still using Windows 10, it is highly recommended that you upgrade to Windows 11. If you are already running Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise, you can take advantage of upgrade licenses to Windows 11 Enterprise, available at a preferential rate. Additionally, TechSoup offers the [full Windows 11 Pro operating system](https://www.techsoup.ca/content/windows-pro-full-operating-system-%E2%80%93-no-software-assurance). This option is particularly suitable if you have a new computer with no operating system installed, or if you need to upgrade from Windows Home to Pro. [UPGRADE YOUR WINDOWS](https://www.techsoup.ca/content/windows-operating-system-upgrade-discounted-%E2%80%93-no-software-assurance) #### Microsoft Visio Standard Are you a visual thinker? Microsoft Visio Standard is for you. Use it to create diagrams, flowcharts, office layouts, org charts, and more. [GET VISIO STANDARD](https://www.techsoup.ca/content/visio-standard-discounted-%E2%80%93-no-software-assurance) #### Microsoft Project With Microsoft Project, you can get a better sense of the steps needed to complete a project so you can keep your team on track. Use it to schedule tasks, track progress, share project information, and more. Request Microsoft Project at a discounted nonprofit rate. [GET PROJECT](https://www.techsoup.ca/content/project-discounted-%E2%80%93-no-software-assurance) ## Microsoft Server and Enterprise Products In addition to productivity software and desktop operating systems, TechSoup also offers discounted on-premises solutions for servers and enterprise-grade applications. #### SQL Server Standard Edition If you host your own SQL-based database apps and need to expand your capacity, we've got you. We offer CAL licensing options for Microsoft SQL Server Standard Edition with low admin fees per license. SQL Server Standard Edition includes core features such as SQL Server Management Studio, online transaction processing, SQL data tools, and more. If you need more than five licenses, TechSoup also offers different licensing options for your products through our discount program. [GET SQL SERVER](https://www.techsoup.ca/content/sql-server-standard-edition-servercal-licensing-discounted-%E2%80%93-no-software-assurance) #### Windows Server Of course, if you need additional Windows Server licenses, we can help you with that, too. We offer various Windows Server options, including Windows Server Standard, Windows Server Essentials, and Windows Server Datacenter. If you need additional licenses or software assurance to cover your current license, you can find them in our discount program. You can read [this article](https://www.techsoup.org/support/articles-and-how-tos/understanding-the-microsoft-server-solutions-available-to-your-nonprofit) from TechSoup US to learn more about the available editions of Microsoft Windows Server and the licensing requirements. [GET WINDOWS SERVER STANDARD](https://www.techsoup.ca/content/windows-server-standard-16-core-licenses-discounted-%E2%80%93-no-software-assurance) #### Windows Remote Desktop Services Windows Remote Desktop Services is a software package that allows your staff to remotely access computers and applications. It's useful if your staff needs to access an app that lives on a computer in the office, but they're currently working from home. The User CAL licenses are our most popular options, but we also have device CALs, with or without Microsoft Software Assurance. [GET REMOTE DESKTOP SERVICES](https://www.techsoup.ca/content/windows-remote-desktop-services-%E2%80%93-user-cal-discounted-%E2%80%93-no-software-assurance) #### Microsoft Exchange Server Microsoft Exchange Server has the tools you need to host your own email, calendaring, and contact management setup, using the Microsoft Exchange standard. We offer license options for both the Standard and Enterprise editions. [GET EXCHANGE SERVER](https://www.techsoup.ca/content/exchange-server-standard-edition-discounted-%E2%80%93-no-software-assurance) ## Much More Is Waiting for You Of course, these are just a few of the Microsoft products that we offer to nonprofits.
