Eligibility Criteria

To qualify for Atlassian's Community License (75% nonprofit discount), your organisation must meet all of the following criteria:

  • Registered as a 501(c)(3) or equivalent nonprofit in your country
  • Non-governmental organisation (government agencies do not qualify)
  • Non-academic institution (use education discount instead)
  • Non-commercial operation (revenue must come from donations/grants)
  • Non-political organisation (political parties and PACs excluded)
  • Non-religious organisation conducting exclusively religious activities

Organisations that do not meet these criteria (such as government agencies, religious institutions conducting exclusively religious activities, or political organisations) should check if they qualify for the education discount or contact Atlassian directly to discuss other discount options.

How to Apply: Step-by-Step Guide

1

Check your eligibility

Verify your organisation meets Atlassian's Community License criteria. You need to be a registered nonprofit that is non-governmental, non-academic, non-commercial, and non-political. Have your registration documents ready.

2

Visit the Atlassian Community License page

Go to atlassian.com/software/views/community-license-request. This is the central application portal for all Atlassian product discounts including Trello, Jira, and Confluence.

3

Submit your application

Fill out the application form with your organisation details, registration number, and proof of nonprofit status. You will need to provide documentation such as your 501(c)(3) letter, registration certificate, or equivalent.

4

Wait for review (1-2 weeks)

Atlassian's team reviews applications manually. Typical processing time is 5-10 business days. Complex cases or incomplete documentation may take longer. You will receive an email notification when your application is approved or if additional information is needed.

5

Apply discount to your Trello workspace

Once approved, you will receive a discount code or your account will be flagged for automatic discount pricing. Apply the discount through your Trello workspace billing settings. The 75% discount applies to your chosen plan for the entire workspace.

6

Renew annually

The Community License discount requires annual renewal. You will need to re-verify your nonprofit status each year. Set a reminder 30 days before your renewal date to ensure uninterrupted service. Renewal is typically faster than the initial application.

Alternative Nonprofit Programs

Other project management tools also offer nonprofit and education discounts. Compare your options before committing.

ClickUp

Nonprofit discounts available

ClickUp offers discounts for qualifying nonprofits. Contact their sales team directly. Typically 25-50% off paid plans. ClickUp's free plan is already more generous than Trello's, so smaller nonprofits may not need a paid plan at all.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I apply for Trello nonprofit pricing?
To apply for Trello nonprofit pricing, visit Atlassian's Community License request page at atlassian.com/software/views/community-license-request. You will need to submit your organisation's details and proof of nonprofit status (such as a 501(c)(3) determination letter in the US, or equivalent documentation in other countries). The review process typically takes 5-10 business days. Once approved, you receive a 75% discount on Trello Standard, Premium, or Enterprise plans for your entire workspace.
Does Trello have a student discount?
Trello does not offer a direct student discount. However, students and educators may qualify for Atlassian's academic licensing program, which provides approximately 50% off paid plans. To qualify, you need a verified educational institution email address (.edu or equivalent). Additionally, Trello's free plan supports unlimited users and may be sufficient for individual student projects. For broader academic needs, consider Notion, which offers its Plus plan completely free for students and educators.
How long does the nonprofit application take?
The Atlassian Community License application typically takes 5-10 business days to process. Applications are reviewed manually by Atlassian's community team. Incomplete applications or unusual organisation types may take longer. You will receive an email notification when your application is approved. If you have not heard back within 15 business days, contact Atlassian support with your application reference number. Once approved, the discount is applied immediately to your billing.
Do I need to renew the nonprofit discount annually?
Yes, the Atlassian Community License requires annual renewal and re-verification. Approximately 30 days before your license expires, Atlassian sends a renewal reminder. You will need to confirm that your organisation still meets the eligibility criteria. The renewal process is typically faster than the initial application as your organisation is already on file. If your nonprofit status changes (e.g., you become a commercial entity), you will lose the discount at the next renewal date.
