Microsoft engagement eligibility

Verify eligibility before you budget around funding

Microsoft-funded partner engagements can support qualified customers, but program status, partner eligibility, customer eligibility, and evidence requirements must all be checked.

What can be stated safely

Funding is an eligibility decision, not a standing discount

Microsoft maintains partner engagements with qualification criteria for the partner, customer, workload, and proposed activity. The available list and status are checked inside Partner Center, so this page does not promise a named program, amount, or approval.

Prepare the enquiry

Bring enough context for an eligibility check

A broad request for “Microsoft funding” is not enough. The relevant engagement depends on the customer, solution area, workload, and work being proposed.

Name the customer organisation, tenant or subscription context, and Microsoft workload.
Describe the assessment, workshop, proof of concept, migration, or deployment being considered.
State the timing, expected customer outcome, and who can approve the work.
Record any proof, attestation, or usage evidence the current engagement requires.
