How do I know who is a Global Administrator of my Microsoft account?

There are three ways to identify your Global Admin.

Option 1: Locate an email received after registering on Microsoft for Nonprofits

The person who registered your organization on the Microsoft Nonprofit Portal (https://nonprofit.microsoft.com) is your initial Global Administrator.

You can confirm who that is by looking for the email from microsoft-noreply@microsoft.com. They send several emails to the Global Administrator after the organization is registered. Those emails usually contain details about the Microsoft account, including the Microsoft domain and the admin login.

Option 2: Sign in to the Microsoft for Nonprofit Portal

Sign In to https://nonprofit.microsoft.com. If you are able to sign in, you should be able to identify if you are the Global Admin based on the message which appears there.

This is what you will see if you are a Global Administrator (please note: Microsoft periodically changes their platform user interfaces, so your experience may be slightly different):

In the above screenshot, you can see 'Status: Approved' showing. Only Global Administrators see that as well as the other offers displayed on the Microsoft Nonprofit Portal.

This is what you will see if you are not a Global Administrator:

In the example above you can see that the user experience is completely different from what the Global Administrator sees. You are, however, still able to see if your organization is eligible for Microsoft for Nonprofits offers.

Option 3: Contact Microsoft

For assistance becoming a Global Administrator, open a support ticket within your Microsoft 365 Admin Center.

If you are unable to open a ticket within your Microsoft 365 Admin Center, open a ticket with Microsoft for Nonprofits Support. Access the Microsoft for Nonprofits support request form by typing a brief description under How can we help? and then selecting Get Help.
