Microsoft Changes Rules for Nonprofit Pricing
In an unannounced change, Microsoft has recently made senior living providers—including nursing homes, assisted living, independent living, and home health—eligible for nonprofit pricing. It has removed them from the list of excluded providers.
In a second unannounced change, you no longer need to apply through TechSoup. You should apply directly to your software distributor/reseller, sharing this information and asking them to apply for non-profit pricing on your behalf.
