Welcome to the Microsoft Discount Program! The Program enables nonprofits to purchase Microsoft genuine software with a great discount available for nonprofits (Open Charity pricing). Only nonprofit customers who have a valid Microsoft Reseller Email Certificate can receive Microsoft products at Open Charity pricing. You can review the Catalogue here.
To receive the Microsoft software discounts you would like to request, you need to register at Microsoft's nonprofit portal. Then you will use the portal to send us an email certificate that validates your organisation's eligibility for discounts.
Please note that you will not be able to place an order until we receive this email certificate. The certificate is valid for 1 year.
Already registered at the Microsoft nonprofit portal (e.g. for Office 365)? Skip to step two.
