Is Your Nonprofit Verified on TechSoup and Goodstack?

Savings go a long way for nonprofits, especially after the AI boom increased the prices of a lot of platforms. I always recommend to people, when procuring anything new for their nonprofit, that they inquire about a nonprofit discount. However, there are platforms out there whose role is to verify an organization's nonprofit status as a gateway to discounts from some of the largest companies.

The two platforms you should prioritize:

• Goodstack
• TechSoup

Historically, I always recommended TechSoup, but Goodstack has been leading when it comes to AI platforms.

What discounts can I get through Goodstack?

Goodstack will get you great discounts to some of the top platforms. I'll list some that are current as of September 2026; just to note, I am viewing as a Canadian organization, and discounts can be country-specific:

• Claude AI at ~70% off
• DocuSign eSignature at 30% off
• Microsoft 365 Copilot at 15% discount
• ChatGPT at $8 USD per month
• Zoom at 50% off

What discounts can I get through TechSoup?

TechSoup has an interesting mix of software, hardware, and services. What they offer discounts to software wise has changed a bit over the years, but there's still some stuff to make it worthwhile:

• 70% off of Wix with a $16 admin fee
• 10 licenses to Box standard
• 50% off of Buffer

What will I need to get verified?

For each, you'll essentially need your business number and government documentation that proves the organization is registered as a charity in their country. This document from the government usually needs to include your organization’s legal name, physical address, and business number. I've often submitted a PDF of our organization from Canada's registry of charitable organizations.
