Digital Solution Area Specialist, Cloud and AI

Microsoft has a longstanding commitment to global corporate philanthropy. Since 2016, we have donated more than $2.5 billion in cash grants, software, hardware, and cloud technology to hundreds of thousands of nonprofits and helped 90,000 moves to the cloud. In September 2017 we launched Tech for Social Impact (TSI) powered by a sustainable social model where profits are reinvested in expanding support for nonprofits. The TSI team is now part of Microsoft Elevate and dedicated to making world-class cloud technology accessible and affordable, so that nonprofits can have an even greater impact. To scale our impact across the nonprofit community the company is investing in Microsoft Elevate Group. This organization will bring together our donation and grant programs, commercial sales efforts, and a partner ecosystem to empower nonprofits globally to address the world’s most pressing needs. This will include leading the “Digital Transformation for Social Impact” go-to-market, working with nonprofits to maximize their social impact through the power of Microsoft platforms. Profits generated from this business will be reapplied to scale operations and to support cash donations to high impact social projects.
