Microsoft provides grants and discounts for eligible nonprofit organisations, including cloud services like Microsoft 365, Office 365, Azure and Dynamics 365, Surface hardware, and on-premises software. Local Microsoft offices also regularly hold training events to help nonprofits better use technology and learn how technology can deepen the impact of their organisations.

News & Resources – Extech Cloud

Over the past 15 years, I have had the privilege of working with Extech across three different charitable organisations, and their unwavering commitment to excellence has been nothing short of exceptional.

Extech has been instrumental in providing us with top-notch hardware solutions, including computer systems, networking infrastructure, and seamless installation services. Their expertise in these areas has undoubtedly contributed to the efficiency and effectiveness of our operations, allowing us to focus on our core mission of serving our community.

What truly sets Extech apart, however, is not just the products they recommend, but their unparalleled ongoing support and helpdesk services who have consistently exceeded our expectations. The team at Extech consistently goes above and beyond to ensure that we receive the assistance we need, when we need it. Their helpdesk is a shining example of efficiency and professionalism, with knowledgeable staff who are always ready to tackle any issue with a personal touch.
