Hosting databases, web applications, and backups on commercial servers creates recurring monthly overhead. Through the AWS Cloud Credit for Nonprofits Program (partnered with TechSoup), eligible organizations can receive between $1,000 and $2,000 in annual Amazon Web Services promotional credits to offset hosting and data storage costs.

Step 1: Obtain Your TechSoup Validation Token

AWS relies on TechSoup to verify applicant eligibility. If you have not yet completed TechSoup verification, log into TechSoup and generate a current validation token specifically for cloud provider requests.

Step 2: Create a Dedicated AWS Root Account

Visit aws.amazon.com and set up an AWS account using a permanent administrative email (such as [email protected]). Note that AWS requires a credit card on file for account activation and identity verification, even when running on grant credits.

Step 3: Request Promotional Credits Through TechSoup

Log in to TechSoup’s catalog and search for AWS Cloud Credit for Nonprofits. Select the credit tier that matches your operating budget. Add the grant to your cart, submit the administrative handling fee, and paste your AWS 12-digit Account ID. The credits are deposited directly into your AWS billing dashboard within 3 to 5 business days.
