Eligibility is determined by an organization’s legally recognized status as well as a review of its purpose and activities. In the United States, the requirement is exempt designation as a 501(c)(3) public charity. Organizations that are not eligible include hospitals and health-care systems, governmental entities, schools and academic institutions, and commercial organizations. Outside the US, requirements are set by the local Esri office or distributor.
For organizations based in the US, Esri partners use TechSoup to verify eligibility and expedite the review process. As part of your application, you will be asked to enter your TechSoup token. If you have not already done so, please register with TechSoup to obtain a token. You will need an active token to submit the Esri application. Please note that if you have not already registered with TechSoup, this may take 2–14 business days to complete.
Outside the US, organizations will be reviewed by the local Esri office or distributor and will not need to complete verification with TechSoup.
Once your review is complete, you will receive an email from Esri with the Nonprofit Program eligibility decision and everything you need to know to get started. If you have any questions, please reach out to the Nonprofit Program team at nonprofit_inquiry@esri.com.
