We look your EIN up on the IRS list and show the name and city we find. Confirm it and the discount is on, no paperwork.

QUESTIONS

Before you verify.

How much is the nonprofit discount?

25% off your package, every month or every year, for as long as your organization qualifies. It stacks with the 10% annual price.

What does the discount not cover?

It applies to the package subscription. Add-ons, usage past your allowance, and taxes and fees still apply where required. It isn't an exemption from government taxes or 911 fees.

We're a church and we're not on the IRS list. Do we qualify?

Yes. Churches and houses of worship don't have to apply to the IRS. Tick "We're a church or house of worship" on your billing page and our team confirms it.

How do you check?

We look your EIN up in the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search data, which the IRS publishes for download. If it's there, you confirm the name and city and the discount is on. If not, our team reviews your letter.

What happens if our status changes?

We re-check the IRS list once a year. If your EIN drops off, a person on our team gets in touch before anything changes.

Can we add it after we've signed up?

Yes. An owner or admin can verify any time on the billing page, and the discount starts on the next bill.

Every number needs a registered 911 address before calls go live: see the 911 / E911 notice.

Pick a plan, then verify.

Choose a package, and enter your EIN on the plan page or later on your billing page. The discount shows on every invoice.
