For small non-profits there is a free basic email, I think for a max of 250 users though. For large non-profits they do offer discounts, but I think only in a ‘full’ 365 package, ie desktop office applications etc.
Certainly not free for any organisation in the 000s.
Just found those details - guess I was given the wrong info previously.
I don’t believe RAFAC would be eligible under the “Mission” segment anyhow, as I believe we would be viewed as a “governmental organisation”
Is this the route our Regions of Civilian Committee Pillars are going to go perhaps.
That would certainly be a good idea!
There’s 2 routes, Microsoft and via Charity Digital.
Microsoft have different schemes for volunteers and charity paid staff. As our IT (aside from the Bader ‘back end’) is paid for by civcoms my guess is that end user licences could have been done that way. But that won’t have some of the central controls that we have.
Whether those controls are needed is a different question.
A decline in our IT offering is certainly part of the organisational spiral. I have however already suggested this thread gets split once a Mod comes online.
Is not actually that off topic compared to normal. Normally we go from the commandant resigning to discussing the ins and outs of the start of WW1. 
How much does Bader cost vs cost of moving over to Westminster?
The best bit about this - which perm staff clearly don’t appreciate - is we have some (parts of) forms which can only be edited in the desktop version of Word. The date boxes of the RA form springs to mind.
Yet another reason to bin Word document forms
A big shock. Imagine how much less work will be required to check those pesky FOIs!
My personal OneDrive - as in the one I pay for - has 1TB.
I think an AVIP workbook is about 15MB!
A very good question, because we don’t know what the cost of using Westminster is. The SCC could tell us, though: they use Westminster but are famously not funded with public funds, so they must be paying…
But it would be good to see one of the recommendations of DYER 2010 enacted!
Not quite right about the SCC. They get a Grant In Aid from the RN worth £12M + in 2023. They also have an MOU with the RN that provides a series of support functions. They do have to raise approx 50% of their own funding.
Has MS Forms gone now then? Went to login this morning to find it’s not be permitted access by your organisation… anyone else? 
Just after we’ve started digitising a load of our discip and uniform processes…
I love this organisation
Yesterday it was working a dream and then this morning, boom… gone… no warning. I’m sure it was listed as one of the applications that was due to stay even after than licencing changes!
We run knowledge tests, uniform inspections, discip records and all sorts through forms and now we can’t access any of our information…
Here’s hoping its a mistake and it reappears soon (doubt)
Have we lost Teams too?
All working fine this end?
Both Teams and Forms are available to me.
Is that with your 100 account? Nobody at my unit has access to forms at the moment. Just says “Your organization has not enabled Microsoft Forms for your current account”
