The AWS Credits Program for Nonprofits provides access to AWS promotional credits, which help nonprofits implement cloud-based solutions to help meet their mission goals without the upfront investment of physical infrastructure.
AWS, through TechSoup New Zealand, will make one grant of $1,000, $2,000, or $5,000 USD in credits per fiscal year (July 1 to June 30)to eligible organisations. Organisations can apply these service credits toward usage fees for all AWS on-demand cloud services, as available by region. AWS credits will not cover any fees or charges for Amazon Mechanical Turk, AWS Managed Services, Enterprise Support, AWS Marketplace, AWS Professional Services, AWS Training, AWS Certification, Amazon Route 53 domain name registration or transfer, any services for cryptocurrency mining, or any upfront fee for services such as Savings Plans and Reserved Instances.
With AWS, nonprofits don't have to make large upfront investments in hardware and spend time and effort managing that hardware. Instead, organisations can provision the right type and size of computing resources they need to power their organisation and keep focus on the mission.
