Microsoft

Microsoft UK’s aim is to build UK prosperity, both socially and economically, through their Citizenship programmes.

One of the areas in which Microsoft works, to make a difference socially within Citizenship, is through Community Affairs. Microsoft has successfully established an extensive network of non-profit partners who they work with to support community-based programmes and local projects which will enable more people to have access to technology. They give to a range of major charity projects both financially and through gifts in kind. In addition they support the investment of their employees in the community.

As part of Microsoft’s Affordable Access to Computing Programme, Microsoft operates the Microsoft Software Donations Programme through Charity Technology Trust's CTX Programme, providing support and software donations to registered charities in the UK.
