Nonprofit Cloud & Microsoft 365
Cloud & Microsoft 365 for Nonprofits
Microsoft donates up to 300 seats of Microsoft 365 Business Premium to eligible nonprofits — that's enterprise email, cloud storage, Teams collaboration, and advanced security at zero cost. BrightWorks IT handles the setup, migration, and ongoing management so you can focus on your mission instead of your mailbox.
Why Nonprofits Are Moving to the Cloud
On-premises servers are expensive, fragile, and increasingly incompatible with how modern nonprofit teams actually work.
Aging Servers Holding Your Data Hostage
Your file server is 7 years old, the backup tapes are unreliable, and the single hard drive failure could wipe out years of grant documentation, donor records, and financial data. Replacing it costs $15,000+ — money you'd rather spend on programs.
Remote Teams Can't Collaborate
Program staff in the field email files back and forth, creating version chaos. Board members can't access documents without VPN connections that never work. Volunteers use personal Google accounts for organizational work. Sound familiar?
Paying for Email You Could Get Free
Many nonprofits pay $5–$20 per user per month for basic email hosting — or worse, use free consumer email (gmail.com, yahoo.com) that provides no security, no compliance, and no professional credibility with donors and grantors.
Multiple Disconnected Tools
Dropbox for files, Zoom for meetings, Slack for chat, Gmail for email — each with its own login, its own security settings, and its own monthly bill. Consolidating to Microsoft 365 gives you one integrated platform with one set of security controls.
