AI for Nonprofits Credential (Microsoft Elevate for Changemakers)
Microsoft, LinkedIn and NetHope
A sector-specific credential with LinkedIn recognition, and the on-ramp to Microsoft's Changemaker Fellowship for organisations with a real AI project.
Launched March 2026 as part of Microsoft Elevate. Three components: the credential (a structured, role-based path co-developed with NetHope, recognised on LinkedIn), live and on-demand training built around real nonprofit workflows including Copilot, change management and responsible-AI governance, and a Changemaker Fellowship that provides resources, investment and expert guidance to organisations ready to implement. The fellowship is the part worth paying attention to if you have a project, not just curiosity.
