Microsoft launched the Upgrade Your World initiative as part of the global release of Windows 10, donating $10 million and more than $10 million in technology to 110 nonprofit organizations around the world. 

Upgrade Your World resulted from Microsoft’s position that technology can be a strong force to drive impact, and that through technology, nonprofits have the ability to increase productivity, boost effectiveness through communication and better collaboration, and extend services to communities and individuals in need.
