Common questions

How did you check these programs?

We read each company's own nonprofit page on November 2, 2026 and wrote down only what it said. Each section links to the page we used.

Why is a well-known program missing?

We only list programs we could confirm on the official site that day. If a page was down or did not say who qualifies, we left it out rather than guess.

Is it safe to sign up for every free program?

Free accounts still hold your data. Start with the tools you will actually use, turn on multi-factor sign-in for each one, and keep a list of who has admin access.
