IT for non-profits · Hamburg IT for non-profit organisations.
Non-profit organisations get Microsoft 365 Business Basic free of charge and Business Premium at up to 75 per cent off. I help with the application, set everything up and look after your organisation’s IT, remotely from Hamburg or on site.
What non-profits tell me most often.
Personal mailboxes
Everyone in the organisation uses their personal mailbox.
I give each person an organisation account for email, Teams and shared files. When someone leaves, the data stays with the organisation.
Board change
After the board changed, nobody knows the passwords any more.
The organisation always has its own emergency access, and rights are tied to roles rather than people.
Discounts
We do not know whether we qualify for Microsoft's discounts.
I check beforehand whether your organisation is eligible and help with the application.
Reachability
We work in several places and are hard to reach by phone.
I set up a Teams reception line with a queue. Calls reach the right person, wherever they are working.
What runs in the organisation afterwards.
Application to Microsoft
Eligibility checked in advance, application filled in together.
Accounts for everyone
Own accounts for staff and volunteers, the right licence for each role.
Shared file storage
Files and mailboxes in one place, with clear rights and backup.
Telephony through Teams
One number, one reception line, no phone system in the office.
Which licence suits whom in your organisation.
Business Basic is free of charge for non-profits. Business Premium comes at up to 75 per cent off. I combine both so the organisation only pays for workplaces that need more.
One platform for files, email and telephony.
I brought mailboxes and files into Microsoft 365 for a nature conservation organisation whose team works in several places. I also set up a reception line through Teams. All remotely from Hamburg.

Briefly answered.
Have a different question? Just write to me.
Business Basic is, up to 300 licences. Since July 2025 Business Premium is no longer free, but available at up to 75 per cent off. The organisation has to be recognised as a non-profit by Microsoft.
In Germany, Microsoft lists tax-privileged bodies, non-profit associations and foundations as eligible. It excludes sports organisations, professional and trade associations, and political organisations, among others.
Yes. Much can be done remotely; the organisation in the case study is based in Berlin.
