    If the canceled offer is the Microsoft 365 Business Premium nonprofit staff donation/grant, that free offer has been discontinued and will expire at the next renewal date. The supported next step is to manually transition users in the Microsoft 365 admin center before the subscription is canceled to avoid service disruption or data loss.

    Recommended path:

    1. In the Microsoft 365 admin center, select Microsoft 365 Business Basic grant or another eligible Microsoft 365 nonprofit offer.
    2. Confirm the new licenses are present in the tenant.
    3. Replace licenses for users currently assigned the discontinued nonprofit donation/grant licenses.
    4. After users are moved, select the old subscription and cancel it.

    Important details:

    • Microsoft states that nonprofits can receive up to 300 granted licenses of Microsoft 365 Business Basic.
    • If desktop Office apps are still required, transition to another Microsoft 365 offer for nonprofits instead of Business Basic.
    • If the organization has more than 300 active users on the legacy Office 365 E1 grant, the guidance is to submit an inquiry to connect with a Microsoft representative and also work with a Microsoft partner.
    • Microsoft also recommends working with the current Microsoft partner or engaging a new partner to help plan and execute the transition.

    If the question is specifically about whether “donation” and “grant” are different for this nonprofit Business Premium offer, the documented Q&A context says they are often used interchangeably for the same no-cost nonprofit benefit.
