I was sent an email the first line of which was "We have received a request from Microsoft to validate your organization’s eligibility to receive Microsoft nonprofit offers" I supplied all the information I had regarding the application for a Community Interest Company to be in the programme. I was sent the following response "Unfortunately, Community Interest Companies (CICs) and other non-profits without charitable status do not currently meet the criteria."It would appear that they acknowledge the non-profit status of the Company but nonetheless exclude it from a programme defined as "Microsoft for Nonprofits"It seems they are unclear on the definitions they are using or they have badly defined the rules of the programme, perhaps they should call it "Microsoft for Charities" or change the rules of eligibility. I would be delighted to have the application re-considered in the light of the name of the programme.
