When someone leaves Microsoft, they don't turn in their passion for giving along with their blue badge. A pillar of the Alumni Network's mission is to positively impact the lives of others through individual and collective giving. When we act together — by volunteering, donating cash, offering expertise, or advocating for a cause — we can have a greater social impact.

Act with Alumni Profiles
For some alumni, involvement with the nonprofit sector becomes their post-Microsoft purpose. We share the stories of alumni who are working in the nonprofit sector and volunteering. As they work to change the world, we amplify their efforts and invite their fellow alumni to act alongside them.

Business and Nonprofit Directory
Within Microsoft AlumConnect, the Alumni Network's private social network, alumni may raise visibility for nonprofit organizations they support by adding them to the Business and Nonprofit Directory. You can highlight specific needs for the nonprofit or invite fellow alumni to learn more and get involved.
