It's perfectly acceptable to charge non-profits for services, and non-profits expect to be charged. Getting free services and products is often a great way to get crap. Non-profits have budgets, and they're willing to spend them to achieve their goals.
It might be effective to offer discounts or limited free functionality to non-profits, but you should probably view this as a marketing strategy more than as a moral pursuit.
- brudgers 10y agoI agree that nonprofits are legitimate customers. One way to subsidize goods and services for nonprofits is by normal donations to their fundraisers. Essentially, it becomes supporting the business of a customer. That way there's no excuse for shortcuts. At scale, an established policy of charitable donations or a foundation makes sense.
