Amazon Web Services Credits Program for Nonprofits

Amazon Web Services (AWS) Credits Program for Nonprofits provides AWS Promotional Credits ("credits") for cloud services to eligible not-for-profits and public libraries throughout Australia.

You can apply these service credits toward usage fees for AWS on-demand cloud services and certain AWS support fees. AWS is a secure cloud services platform that offers computing power, database storage, content delivery, and other functionality without requiring organisations to invest in physical infrastructure. 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.

For additional information, see how other not-for-profit organisations are leveraging AWS cloud products and solutions.

Signing Up for the AWS Free Tier.

In addition to the AWS Credits Program for Nonprofits, AWS offers the AWS Free Tier for all new customers for 12 months following the organisation's sign-up date. The AWS Free Tier is an offer that is separate from the AWS Credits Program. It allows new customers to use certain AWS services for free up to certain usage limits.

AWS recommends that potential grant recipients sign up for the AWS Free Tier before they request this offer.

In most situations, organisations will use both the AWS Credits Program for Nonprofits and the AWS Free Tier. This combination can help organisations leverage AWS's cloud infrastructure on a pay-as-you-go basis to host websites and fundraising software, store and analyze data, and develop new systems.
