Who qualifies for GitHub for Nonprofits?

Nonprofit organizations that are 501(c)(3) or equivalent and are non-governmental, non-academic, non-commercial, and non-political in nature are eligible for a free GitHub Team Plan with unlimited private repositories and unlimited users or 25% off of GitHub Enterprise Cloud.

What if our organization does not qualify for nonprofit status but works in the social sector?

At this time, we only support registered 501(c)(3) or equivalent organizations. In the future, we hope to provide additional programmatic support to social sector organizations.

What are the different GitHub pricing plans?

GitHub offers free and paid plans for storing and collaborating on code. Some plans are available only to personal accounts, while other plans are available only to organization and enterprise accounts. For more information about accounts, see "Types of GitHub accounts."

What is the Nonprofit Developer Pack?

The Nonprofit Developer Pack is a curated collection of free and discounted services from GitHub and our partners. It provides nonprofits with access to premium developer tools, cloud credits, and security suites to help them scale their missions without being limited by their tech budgets.

How is this different from the existing GitHub for Nonprofits program?

The Developer Pack expands these benefits by including external tools and services from partner companies.

How do I apply for the Pack?

The process is handled through the GitHub for Nonprofits portal : Authentication: Sign in to your GitHub organization account. Automatic Check: Our system first checks if your organization is already in our validated database. Manual Application: If you aren't automatically validated, you can submit a form with your country of registration, registration ID, and proof of status (e.g., your 501(c)(3) letter).
