Doberman Media has successfully joined the Microsoft for Nonprofits program and has been approved for the Microsoft Azure Grant, providing our organization with $2,000 USD in Azure cloud credits.
Before receiving the grant, Doberman Media completed Microsoft’s nonprofit verification process, confirming our organization’s eligibility to participate in the company’s global support programs for nonprofit organizations.
The Azure Grant gives our organization access to Microsoft’s cloud infrastructure and services, allowing us to build more reliable, secure, and scalable digital solutions. These resources can be used to host websites and applications, improve cybersecurity, store and process data, and develop new digital tools that support our mission.
For Doberman Media, this is another important step in strengthening our technological capacity and long-term sustainability as an independent nonprofit media organization serving Russian-speaking LGBTQ+ communities across Europe.
The Microsoft Azure Grant complements a growing list of international recognitions and support programs received by Doberman Media, including Google Ad Grants, Goodstack Verified, and our DUNS Number. Together, these achievements reinforce the credibility of our organization and expand our access to technologies that help independent nonprofit media organizations grow.
We remain committed to developing Doberman Media as an independent Russian-language LGBTQ+ media organization based in the European Union, operating in accordance with the principles of transparency, accountability, innovation, and public benefit.
