What is Zoom for Nonprofits?

Zoom for Nonprofits can help eligible organizations run reliable virtual meetings, trainings, webinars, board sessions, and community events. Use this page to decide whether Zoom fits your nonprofit’s online programming needs, what to verify before applying for a discount, and how to avoid paying for event features your team will not use.

Best For

Best for nonprofits that regularly host virtual meetings, online workshops, webinars, trainings, support groups, remote board meetings, fundraising events, or community sessions. It works well for teams that need a familiar video platform with options for larger meetings, webinars, recordings, captions, and event-style settings.

Where it stands out

Zoom takes 50% off annual Workplace Pro and Business plans, plus large meeting and webinar add-ons.

Good fit if: You run frequent meetings, trainings or webinars and have an operating budget of $10 million or less.

Watch for: Nothing is free; annual plans only; the TechSoup route ended in May 2025, so you apply through Goodstack.

Before You Sign Up

Cost and access

Eligible nonprofits may be able to access Zoom discounts through Zoom’s nonprofit pathways or partner programs such as Goodstack, depending on country, organization type, current offer rules, and product selection. Confirm the current discount, verification process, eligible products, and annual plan requirements before purchasing.

Eligibility and availability

Eligibility may depend on nonprofit status, country, organization type, budget or size limits, and partner verification requirements. Some offers may apply only to selected Zoom products or annual subscriptions. Confirm current eligibility and renewal terms before planning virtual programming around a paid Zoom plan.

Check before you apply

  • Whether your organization qualifies for the current Zoom nonprofit discount and whether verification is direct or through a partner
  • Whether you need meetings only, or also webinars, large meetings, recordings, registration, or event-style tools
  • How many host licenses, attendees, recurring events, and annual subscriptions your team actually needs
  • Who will manage meeting security, waiting rooms, recordings, captions, host roles, and attendee privacy
  • Whether existing tools such as Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, or another platform already cover your basic meeting needs
Information on nonprofit discounts, pricing, eligibility, and program availability can change. Always confirm details directly on the official website before applying or purchasing.
