Is there a charity licence version of Office for Mac (2008 or 2004)?

Non-profits are allowed to buy the Home and Student 2008 version, I
believe (which does lack some commercial features such as Exchange). Not
sure about the 2004 Student/Teacher version.

Unfortunately non-profits are not licensed for the Home and Student 2008
version. If you take a look at the license agreement @

Section 2.f: Limitations on Use. The software is not licensed for use in any
commercial, non-profit or revenue-generating business activities.

However, non-profits can use other resources detailed in the following link
(including free options):

Good luck!

Thanks for catching that, Matt. Guess someone from MS PSS and I lied to
a firefighter at Macworld.

Tried that, got some crazy XML Exception text in Safari 3 and Firefox
2. But Search is currently broken, guess it will get fixed at somepoint.
