Answer 1

Hi @Mike Skufca, 

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum. 

According to your concern, the answer is yes, Microsoft does have a dedicated philanthropy program for eligible nonprofit organizations. Let us share you more details:  

For qualification, an organization will need:  

• A recognized nonprofit charitable organization in its country. 
• Held in good standing and operating on a not-for-profit basis. 

The US Coast Guard Auxiliary is a unique entity. It is a volunteer, uniformed component of the U.S. Coast Guard, which is a U.S. government agency. Microsoft may categorize government entities differently from nonprofits. 

Then, the Auxiliary's leadership or IT department should go through the Microsoft official website to check and apply Microsoft 365 Nonprofit Solutions | Microsoft Nonprofits. They will need to provide documentation to validate nonprofit and charitable status.

If approved, the pricing is dramatically reduced, you can check via Compare Microsoft 365 Nonprofit Plans | Microsoft 365 

Hope this information will be helpful. Please let me know if there's anything else I can help you with.     

Thank you for your understanding and corporation. Looking forward to your response.
