Eligibility readiness tool

Nonprofit software eligibility checker

Use this before applying for Google for Nonprofits, Microsoft nonprofit offers, Canva, Adobe, Balsamiq, TechSoup, Charity Digital, or other software benefit routes. It does not decide eligibility or promise discounts; it shows whether the charity is ready to apply and what evidence to gather next.

How to use the result

  • Use the score to decide whether to apply now, gather evidence first, or use free tiers while formal status is clarified.
  • Open each recommended benefit page and verify current eligibility, regional terms, seat limits, admin fees, and renewal rules at the official source.
  • Do not migrate donor, beneficiary, staff, volunteer, or trustee data until ownership, access, and security controls are clear.
  • Record the final provider decision and renewal date in an internal software register.
