GitLab for Nonprofits
GitLab's official nonprofit pages say the GitLab for Nonprofits Program gives free licenses to registered nonprofit organizations, and the join page says approved nonprofits receive a free Ultimate license for a year, SaaS or self-managed, up to 20 seats.
Who it is best for
Charities and nonprofits with software, data, website, open-source, internal automation, secure CI/CD, application security, documentation, or technical delivery teams that need source control and DevSecOps workflows.
Eligibility notes
Registered 501(c)(3) nonprofits or jurisdictional equivalents in good standing may apply, subject to GitLab values alignment, GoodStack vetting, annual donation limits, annual renewal, and GitLab's sole discretion. GitLab says support is not included with the Nonprofit license.
