If you're running a not-for-profit or you're involved with supporting a not-for-profit, you'll be all too aware that every dollar counts. Every dollar you don't spend on administration is a dollar that can directly impact your cause.
One of the biggest benefits available to not-for-profits is the Microsoft Nonprofits. It's just like the business version of Microsoft 365 but specifically for nonprofits and comes with many benefits, including:
With the use of these free and discounted licenses from Microsoft, you can setup your not-for-profit for success from day one. But...
As with any IT solution, the benefits do come with some overhead. While Microsoft 365 is becoming more and more consumerised and easier to use, getting everything configured correctly and securely still requires a reasonably good grounding in both IT administration & operation and security. Getting the fundamentals wrong can leave your not-for-profit exposed to the possibility of fraud, data leakage and subsequent breaches of privacy.
We strongly recommend that you engage someone with experience in configuring the various components of M365 to ensure that they're both right for your business and secure.
