Microsoft Announces Changes to Cloud for Nonprofit Subscription Model to Accelerate Customer Value

December 13, 2023 Microsoft Partner News

In a recent announcement, Microsoft has unveiled plans to evolve the subscription and packaging model for its Cloud for Nonprofit. This move is aimed at removing the friction of the subscription process and accelerating time to value for customers and partners. The changes are set to align with the overall Microsoft Industry Cloud packaging shifts that were announced earlier this year at Inspire (July 2023).

Currently, Microsoft Cloud for Nonprofit intellectual property (IP) is packaged in two incremental per-tenant subscription options. These are the Cloud for Nonprofit Basic, which offers limited IP inclusions at no additional cost, and the Cloud for Nonprofit Standard, which provides incremental IP inclusions and Microsoft Technical Support.

However, as of January 1, 2024, these plans will be simplified to a single plan, renamed as Fundraising and Engagement. This plan will be made available at no additional cost to nonprofits, educational organizations, and commercial customers. These customers will be able to leverage the existing vertical solutions, such as Fundraising and Engagement, Volunteer Management and Engagement, Constituent Marketing Journeys, and Program Impact Dashboard, to add incremental value to their existing Microsoft Cloud investments.

It's important to note that the Standard P1 and P2 prices for Government will remain unchanged despite these adjustments.

Microsoft believes that these alignment and subscription model changes will help increase the adoption of their horizontal commercial solution areas (CSAs). The changes are designed to provide customers with simplicity and predictability when engaging with Microsoft and expand industry clouds to represent the totality of the Microsoft Cloud, across CSAs, partners, and industry-specific IP.

Microsoft has made it clear that they will continue to invest, build, and expand industry-specific solution templates that accelerate time-to-value for their customers and partners.

For more information, Microsoft has provided resources such as the Microsoft Cloud for Nonprofit SKU Change Partner Alert and the Microsoft Cloud for Nonprofit SKU Change FAQ. If you have any questions, you can reach out to Microsoft directly through their contact page.

At Qloud Blog, we are excited to see how these changes will impact the nonprofit sector and how organizations will leverage the new Fundraising and Engagement plan to enhance their operations and services. We will continue to keep you updated on any further developments.
