If you work for, or own a nonprofit organization, then you know how important it is to find software or tools that offer discounts. These tools can become very expensive, but play a vital role in ensuring your nonprofit can run its day-to-day operations. Without these discounts, the cost of these tools can quickly add up and cost more than you can afford.
Here at Bonfire, we’ve helped hundreds of nonprofits raise money for their organization through t-shirt fundraisers. In an effort to continue helping organizations like yours, we’ve created this resource that lists all of the best discounts for nonprofits in one single place. Our hope is that you’ll be able to spend more time focusing on your organization, and less time researching where you can get the best discount for a certain type of software or product.
Explore all of the discounts that we’ve found below. These discounts are spread across 16 different categories and include discount and pricing information for each item.
