My not-for-profit used to receive a $3500 Azure grant but it’s now $2,000. What happened there?

Microsoft refreshed its grant strategy recently and has updated its grant portfolio with these changes:

Effective 1st October 2023, the Azure grant is now USD 2,000. Not-for-profits will no longer be able to renew at the previous Azure grant level, and at the next grant renewal on or after 1st October 2023.

Not-for-profits will be granted USD2,000 of Azure sponsorship credits annually so long as they remain eligible to receive such grants.
