Answer 1

Hello Ralph, From the docs we have, here are the common paths:

If this is an Azure Grant for nonprofit organizations

Go to the Nonprofit Hub Portal: https://nonprofit.microsoft.com/
Sign in and confirm your nonprofit status shows Approved
Select the Azure Grant tile
Choose Claim (under Step One)
You should then receive an email about the Azure sponsorship, with a link to claim/activate it.

2) If this is a Microsoft Azure Sponsorship (invitation-only)

If you’re entitled to this offer, you would have received an email invitation telling you how to accept it for your Account Id.
The docs indicate the activation/accept step is done via a signup/activation flow (link shown below).

Activation link reference: https://signup.azure.com/signup?offer=ms-azr-0036p&appId=102&l=en-in&correlationId=012394f5731047939fbf129c1fde83a4

3) If this is an Azure Pass style grant (credit voucher program)

This one is handled by promo code redemption + activation:

Redemption starts at: https://www.microsoftazurepass.com

(You redeem a promo code first, then you’re taken to a sign-up page to activate.)

Quick check (so we point you to the right “accept” step)

Can you tell which kind of offer you received/approved for (nonprofit Azure grant vs invitation-only sponsorship vs Azure Pass), or paste the exact wording from the approval email/subject line?

Hi @Ralph LoPriore

Congratulations on your Azure grant!

Option 1: If it is a Nonprofit Grant ($2,000 Annual Azure Sponsorship)

If your organization was approved for an Azure Nonprofit grant, you must accept and activate it through the Microsoft Nonprofit Hub:

Go to the Microsoft Nonprofit Hub and sign in using your validated nonprofit Microsoft account.
In the left-hand navigation menu, click on the Offers or Benefits section.
Locate the Azure $2,000 Sponsorship offer.
Click Activate.

Please follow the guided setup to accept the Azure Sponsorship terms, choose or create a Billing Profile, and link or create the Azure subscription where your grant will apply.

Note: Be sure to activate this offer within 90 days of approval, or the grant voucher may expire.

Option 2: If you received an Approval Email with a Redemption Link

Check the approval email sent to your inbox.
Open the approval email from Microsoft or Azure Sponsorships.
Look for an "Activate Now" or "Claim Credits" button/link.

Clicking the link will redirect you to the Azure Sponsorship Activation Page (microsoftazuresponsorships.com or portal.azure.com), where you sign in with your target Azure admin credentials to claim the pass/credit.

Answer 3

To accept and activate the $2,000 Azure nonprofit grant:

Sign in to the Nonprofit Hub with the validated Microsoft account that was approved for the grant.
Go to the Offers tab.
Find Azure $2,000 Sponsorship.
Select Activate next to the grant.
Complete the guided setup:
- Accept the Azure Sponsorship terms
- Choose an existing billing profile or create a new one
- Set up the Azure subscription environment

Important details:

Only the primary contact listed on the offer can activate the credit.
The grant must be activated within 90 days of offer issuance.
After activation, the credit is shared across all subscriptions under the chosen billing profile.
A valid credit card might be required during setup, but charges apply only if usage goes beyond the $2,000 grant.

If the wrong billing profile was used, a product transfer request can be used to move the grant within the same tenant. If activation errors occur or the approved contact is unclear, submit a support request through the nonprofit Contact Us form.
