- CRA charity registration number, where applicable
- Charity or nonprofit registration documentation
- Organization website URL

LAI will:
- Collect, store, and process information confidentially.

Microsoft approval and eligibility rules
LAI supports and manages the process, but Microsoft makes the final decision on nonprofit eligibility and licensing approval.
Important points:
- LAI does not guarantee Microsoft nonprofit approval.
- Eligibility and licensing determinations are made solely by Microsoft.
- Microsoft nonprofit pricing and licensing remain subject to Microsoft program terms.
- Continued access to nonprofit pricing may depend on ongoing eligibility and renewal requirements.
LAI’s role is to guide the process professionally, help ensure information is submitted correctly, and support your organization with licensing guidance before, during, and after the assessment.
