In a recent development from Tallahassee, Florida’s Attorney General, James Uthmeier, has taken a firm stance against Microsoft, alleging that the tech giant is engaging in discriminatory practices towards religious organizations. The focus of Uthmeier’s accusations, which were detailed in a letter sent on Tuesday, centers on the exclusion of Christian-based nonprofits from Microsoft’s nonprofit discount program.

Uthmeier has questioned Microsoft’s commitment to its foundational principle of inclusivity, asserting that the company is paradoxically applying its anti-discrimination policies in a manner that is, itself, discriminatory. “In recent years, various religiously affiliated nonprofits, including private Christian schools, churches, and faith-based pregnancy resource centers located across the United States, have been denied access to Microsoft’s nonprofit discount program,” Uthmeier elaborated, noting that many of these organizations are based in Florida.

The attorney general’s letter highlights the perceived exemption of religiously affiliated nonprofits from Microsoft’s program, suggesting that this exclusion violates the Florida Civil Rights Act by ostensibly making these groups ineligible for necessary endorsements.

In response to these allegations, WFLA reached out to Microsoft for comment. A spokesperson for the company provided a statement, although the content of that statement was not included in the report.

WFLA reached out to Microsoft for a response, and a company spokesperson issued the following statement:

“We have been in touch with the Florida Attorney General’s office and are working to clear up any questions related to Microsoft’s nonprofit discount program. Microsoft takes these issues seriously and does not engage in religious discrimination in this or any of our other programs.”
