I do assume you made this comment in good faith, but it's misleading: this offer is for nonprofits, constituted or otherwise, and not merely for open source projects.
It's important for your company's messaging that you be accurate here.

You can see many of the open source projects of significance who are part of the program here: https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/open-source/partners/ https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/open-source/partners/
