Power BI course for Not-for-profits (Australian Eastern time zone)
Motive Consulting is excited to launch our new training course Power BI Beginner for Not-for-profits! Over the past few years, we have had the opportunity to create Power BI reports for a variety of not-for-profit organisations. During this time, we noticed a gap in training options available to NFPs, with most existing courses focusing on corporate themes such as sales and profit. Our new course bridges this gap by providing content designed specifically for NFPs. It draws on examples and datasets related to the Australian social service sector, ensuring the training is relevant and practical. As with all of our consulting and training services, we are offering discounted pricing for NFP organisations. Course highlights: 💡 No Power BI experience required 📑 Course manual and exercise files provided 🎓 Led by an experienced Microsoft Certified Trainer 💻 Delivered remotely via Microsoft Teams 🕒 Full day course from 9am to 4pm AEST Course dates: 📆 8 April 📆 21 May 📆 24 June ▶️ For more information, or to book now, visit: https://www.motiveconsulting.com.au/training-services/power-bi-beginner-not-for-profits You can also follow us on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/company/motive-consulting
Issue with Non-Profit Licenses – Credit Card Required
Hello, Our organization has been accepted into the Microsoft Non-Profit program, and we have been granted 10 donated licenses. However, in order to obtain them, I need to purchase them, even though the cost is 0 euros. I understand this is an administrative process to acquire the licenses. The problem is that the system requires me to enter a credit card, which I do not have. My organization does not have a credit card. Is there any way to obtain these licenses without providing a credit card number? Thank you for your help. Best regards
Problems logging in to Microsoft non-profit
Hello everyone, I have signed up our non-profit organization for Microsoft Non-Profit and it was approved. In the approval-mail I was instructed to go to the "non-profit hub" to sign in and select the plans we would like to use. Unfortunately, when I try to log in at the non-profit hub, I am redirected to a blank page with just a loading circle spinning for all eternity (I've let it spin for 3 hours at one time). I've tried different browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox) as well as different devices, the result remains the same. The username and password are correct - the former was additionally given in the approval-mail, the latter was checked several times. Is there another way to select the plans for our non-profit organization? Thanks in advance.

Unable to renew Azure grant -- Nonprofit Hub is broken
This post reopens this training support discussion that was closed because it wasn't in the nonprofit group. A nonprofit organization I assist received an email that their Azure grant was up for renewal. Upon going to the nonprofit hub as linked in the email, the hub only shows the "Edit Profile" page and refuses to navigate anywhere else. There are no error messages and nothing is missing, it just keeps navigating back and none of the other pages work. This problem persisted across multiple devices on recent browsers. In light of this bug in the portal, how should the organization renew their grant, which is set to expire in the middle of January? Thanks for the help.problems with non-profit verification
After registering, I was contacted by Microsoft support (verification department) and asked for additional information: We are from the verification department, and we need additional information to properly resolve the problem you are experiencing. To help us resolve your case, we need to verify both your identity and your association with the non-profit organization for which you are requesting sponsorship. Please provide us with the necessary documentation to facilitate this verification process, which will allow us to quickly resolve your issue. Please provide the following additional information, among other relevant details: Organizational URL/website – if applicable A photo or scanned copy of your employee identification card Government-issued documentation not publicly available concerning your Nonprofit Organization Confirmation email from your nonprofit organization's domain, affirming that you are acting on their behalf and outlining your association with the organization, etc. If you have any additional information that you consider relevant for our consideration, please include it in your response. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and eagerly anticipate your prompt reply. If we do not receive a response within the next 48 hours, regrettably, the case will be closed. I provided my organization's website and my email address at the organization so they can contact me, so I can verify I can receive email at my organization's domain. I wasn't able to provide the other information because my organization doesn't have employee id cards. I also asked what specific government issued documentation was requested, because the request was nondescript. The response I got back was: Thank you again for reaching out and for applying for nonprofit status with Microsoft. However, we have been unable to determine the veracity of the account details you have provided and are unable to process your account for offers through the Nonprofit Portal. We will be archiving this ticket at this time. Should you disagree with this assessment, please feel free to open a new ticket with additional verifiable documentation. This was disappointing. The ticket was closed without me really knowing what it was about or me given a reasonable chance to provide what was requested. Any advice?
How do I get started
Hello, I am new here and still trying to figure out how to get started. The process has been quite challenging for me. I have logged into the Nonprofit Hub and navigated to the Product Comparison section, but I’m not sure what to do next. In fact, the page is prompting me to make a purchase and is directing me to enter my credit card details. I’m unsure how to proceed, especially since we’ve already been approved for nonprofit grants and discounts from Microsoft. Could someone please guide me on how to get started without needing to make a payment? Thank you so much for your help!
