नोट

Microsoft conducts periodic eligibility reviews for our customer nonprofit qualifications. Nonprofit customers who no longer meet the eligibility criteria receive a 90-day notice prior to the qualification being removed, so they can take action.

Partners managing customers who become ineligible for the nonprofit program will no longer be able to manage the nonprofit new commerce subscription(s). Furthermore, auto-renewal for the customer's nonprofit seat-based subscriptions will be disabled.

To confirm the status of a customer's nonprofit qualification, use the steps in Check customer qualifications earlier in this article. If you wish to dispute the qualification, you can request support via Contact Us (microsoft.com). If your customer no longer meets nonprofit criteria, they may consider the commercial offer equivalent.
