Asana for Nonprofits provides a 50% discount on Asana Starter ($10.99/user/mo list) and Advanced ($24.99/user/mo list) plans for eligible nonprofits [source: asana-nonprofits]. The application flow is mediated through Goodstack, which performs the nonprofit verification (recognised charity per the local regulator) and routes the eligible organisation into the discounted plan [source: asana-nonprofits].

The Goodstack-mediated verification is the gate: Goodstack verifies legal nonprofit status against the local regulator (IRS Pub 78 for the US, Charity Commission for the UK, etc.) and approves the application in ~3 days [source: goodstack]. Asana’s own program page does not state an explicit political/advocacy exclusion — the de-facto filter is what Goodstack’s validation accepts, which is broader than TechSoup’s primary-purpose test but still excludes purely-political / unregistered advocacy organisations.

For a 501(c)(3) or registered charitable organisation, the path is straightforward; for a 501(c)(4) / partisan / unregistered advocacy org, the answer depends on what Goodstack’s review accepts in the applicant’s country.

Procuring Asana Starter/Advanced at 50% off via Goodstack for project-management and team-coordination workflows; understanding that the political/advocacy exclusion is not publicly stated — rely on Goodstack’s review to decide whether your legal form qualifies.
