Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Microsoft 365 tenant name look like?
A Microsoft 365 tenant name usually follows the format 'yourorganization.onmicrosoft.com'. It is created during your initial setup and is used as the foundational domain for your subscription.
Can I change my Microsoft 365 tenant name later?
While you cannot change the original '.onmicrosoft.com' fallback domain name, you can add a custom domain (like '@yournonprofit.org') and set it as the default for user emails and logins.
Where can I find my tenant ID if I can log in?
If you have admin access, log into the Microsoft 365 admin center, go to Azure Active Directory (or Entra ID), and click on 'Properties'. Your Tenant ID will be listed there.
Do I need my tenant name to buy nonprofit licenses?
Yes, Microsoft partners and resellers require your exact tenant name or tenant ID to provision nonprofit licenses to the correct organizational account.
