Subject - The Microsoft Giving programme

Posted : (Wednesday 11th January 2006 ) By - jane (Registered User)The Microsoft Giving programme provides support in kind to hundreds of charity and community groups in the UK. Between 1998 and 2002 Microsoft donated over £3 million of software to the UK voluntary sector, for use in fundraising or helping to run voluntary organisations.

Charities and non-profit organisations can apply every three years. Unfortunately we are unable to provide multiple donations to any single charity, or to local community groups affiliated with national organisations.

We support a wide range of projects and are particularly interested in projects that improve access to technology for disadvantaged communities.

To apply for a donation of up to three software packages, please write to us at the address found at the bottom of this page. You should provide a brief outline of your project or organisation - concise and factual information that will help us understand how we might be able to assist you - and, where applicable, the software you require and your registered charity number.
