Xero for Nonprofits
Summary
Xero for Nonprofits provides 25% off Xero Business plans (the standard nonprofit offer) or 70% off via TechSoup for the first 2 years (the TechSoup-mediated path). Xero’s public nonprofit pages do not state an explicit political/advocacy exclusion; advocacy eligibility is unknown until verified with Xero/TechSoup.

Xero offers two nonprofit paths: a direct 25% discount on Xero Business plans for verified nonprofits, and a TechSoup-mediated path with 70% off the first 2 years for organisations that go through the TechSoup catalogue [source: xero-nonprofits]. The two paths differ on discount depth, duration, and admin-fee structure; the direct path has no admin fee but a smaller discount, while the TechSoup path has the larger discount and a TechSoup admin fee [source: xero-nonprofits].
Eligibility expects recognised charitable status (501(c)(3) in the US or international equivalent). Xero’s public nonprofit pages do not appear to state an explicit political/advocacy exclusion; advocacy eligibility is unknown [source: xero-nonprofits].
For a campaigning org with international operations (Xero has stronger multi-currency and non-US support than QuickBooks), Xero is the typical recommendation relative to QuickBooks. The choice between the direct 25%-off path and the TechSoup 70%-off-2-years path depends on whether the org already has TechSoup validation and whether the admin fee is acceptable.

Procuring Xero at 25% off (direct) or 70% off for 2 years (via TechSoup) for a nonprofit’s bookkeeping and multi-currency financial-reporting workflow; understanding that the political/advocacy exclusion is not publicly stated — verify directly with Xero/TechSoup if your legal form is non-charitable or advocacy-focused.
