Adobe for Nonprofits
Summary
Adobe for Nonprofits is a two-track program: (1) Acrobat Pro at $15/year per license DIRECTLY from Adobe for eligible nonprofits (Acrobat left TechSoup in November 2024 and is now only available via the direct Adobe channel), with up to 10 Acrobat Pro licenses per organisation; (2) Creative Cloud Pro at 60% off year 1 / 40% off year 2+ via TechSoup, now available in unlimited quantities (the earlier 5-license cap was lifted). Adobe Express is also free for eligible nonprofits through the same Adobe-direct channel.

Adobe’s nonprofit program operates on two parallel tracks. Adobe Acrobat Pro for Nonprofits is administered directly at adobe.com/nonprofits/apply-now — eligible nonprofits get one-year Acrobat Pro subscriptions at $15/year per license, with up to 10 licenses per organisation [source: adobe-nonprofits]. Acrobat left TechSoup in November 2024 and is now only available directly from Adobe [source: adobe-nonprofits].
Adobe Creative Cloud for Nonprofits is administered through TechSoup (techsoup.org/adobe): eligible nonprofits get Creative Cloud Pro individual one-year memberships at 60% off in year 1, 40% off in year 2+, with unlimited license quantities (the earlier 5-license cap was lifted) [source: adobe-nonprofits]. TechSoup charges an admin fee per donation request [source: adobe-nonprofits].
Adobe Express for Nonprofits is free for eligible nonprofits through the Adobe-direct channel [source: adobe-nonprofits].
Eligibility for both tracks is gated by TechSoup (CC) and Adobe’s own verification (Acrobat / Express). The exclusion list mirrors TechSoup’s: political organisations, lobbying organisations, governmental organisations, and schools/universities (which have separate Adobe education pricing) are not eligible [source: adobe-nonprofits]. Religious organisations are eligible if they have a secular community-facing program.
