How to escape Microsoft 365

Whether your organization is facing a steep price hike after Microsoft's decision to sunset most of its free nonprofit plans — or you're simply done using tools from a company deeply entangled in war profiteering, surveillance tech, and environmental harm — there's a better way forward.

How we'll get there

Email & calendars

Migrate your mailboxes, calendars, contacts, and rules to a new provider.

File storage & sharing

Transfer documents, spreadsheets, and shared drives to a new system without creating a mess.

User access & security

Set up strong account protections, two-factor auth, and admin controls in the new system.

Domain setup & DNS

Reconfigure your domain's MX, SPF, DKIM, and other records for smooth email delivery.

Staff training & onboarding

Ensure your team knows how to use the new tools without friction or confusion.

Cleanup & exit

Shut down Microsoft services in a way that doesn't interrupt your work or leave gaps in compliance.

What you should NOT do

Don't wait until your Microsoft license lapses — you could lose data or access
Don't start transferring things without a clear plan — it's easy to break email delivery or confuse your team
Don't assume the new provider will just work out of the box — it rarely does

Ideal for…

  • Nonprofit organizations with up to 50 staff
  • Teams that care about digital security and autonomy
  • Teams without a dedicated IT team
  • Any team that wants values-aligned tools (and tech support that isn't condescending)

Pricing

We price migrations based on your org's size and the complexity of your setup. We're happy to scope out a fixed-fee project or build in a few hours of extra tech support for peace of mind.
