TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WFLA) — On Tuesday, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier sent a strongly worded letter to Microsoft, accusing the tech giant of engaging in discriminatory practices against religious groups, particularly Christian-based nonprofit organizations.

In his letter, Uthmeier took issue with Microsoft’s commitment to inclusivity, asserting that the company applies its anti-discrimination policies in a biased manner. “In recent years, several religiously affiliated nonprofits have been barred from accessing Microsoft’s nonprofit discount program. These organizations encompass private Christian schools, churches, faith-based nonprofits, and pregnancy resource centers, many of which operate nationwide and have a significant presence in Florida,” Uthmeier stated.

The attorney general further alleged that Microsoft has effectively excluded religiously affiliated organizations from its nonprofit program, rendering them ineligible for necessary endorsements. He argues that this approach violates the Florida Civil Rights Act by discriminating against these groups.

The attorney general accused the company of “ostensibly exempting religiously affiliated organizations from its nonprofit program,” making them ineligible for the endorsement requirement and violating Florida’s Civil Rights Act.

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.”
