The Mattermost Nonprofit License enables nonprofit and open-source organizations who are unable to afford our commercial licenses to apply the benefits of the self-hosted [Mattermost Professional offering](/product-overview/editions-and-offerings) towards advancing their missions with special nonprofit pricing.
Nonprofit and open-source organizations that meet the [eligibility requirements](#whos-eligible) can apply for the Mattermost Nonprofit license by completing [this form](https://support.mattermost.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=17664739497236). Please note that it may take up to six weeks for us to respond to your request.
## What's included?
A 3-year subscription to our Mattermost Professional Self-Hosted offering for up to 1,000 users with a subscription fee of $250 USD. If the nonprofit has over 1,000 users, the application will undergo a review on a case-by-case basis, both for Mattermost Professional Self-Hosted and Mattermost Professional Cloud offerings. Upon acceptance of these terms, Mattermost has the right to place the name and logo of the nonprofit, open-source, or charitable institution on our website and in our marketing materials.
Following the 3-year subscription, the institution can renew the license every 3 years for an additional $250 USD subscription fee.
## Who's eligible?
Organizations applying for a non-profit license must meet **ALL** of the following requirements:
- Be able to provide documentation that establishes the organization as a recognized nonprofit status.
- Have no affiliation with government, academic, commercial, religious, or political entities.
- Be unable to afford a commercial Mattermost license.
- Be willing to let Mattermost use their logo for promotional purposes.
- Be willing to pay a $250 processing fee for a 3-year, self-hosted Professional license contract for up to 1000 users.
If your organization doesn’t fit this description, we suggest that you purchase a [commercial license](https://mattermost.com/pricing/) instead.
If you represent an open source community or project that is not hosted under a recognized nonprofit, but would like a commercial license for Mattermost, please email [community@mattermost.com](mailto:community@mattermost.com) with your organization’s needs and requirements.
