Seek out more free NPO access to software

[jcklpe]

What we already have, completely free for NPOs:

• Slack for NPOs
• Google Suite
• Canva
• Azure hosting (in-kind annual donation)

What we're using on the free tier (because NPO status doesn't completely waive):

• Bitly
• Buffer
• Miro

Marketing
Canva Pro is free for nonprofits - could be good for marketing / LinkedIn / etc

Project Management / Kanban
Trello free plan is probably good enough for scoping out user stories / kanban board and their Pro is 75% off for nonprofits, but I don't know OpenAustin well enough (yet) to know if it fits the projects we do. Monday.com is similar and offers 10 free seats + 70% off additional to nonprofits.

(I edited the orig ticket with what we do have)

Squarespace - I know opinions are strong and mixed about having a sleek website, but image is super important for grants/philanthropy

• 10% off first payment for NPOs
• https://www.squarespace.com/pricing

Along those lines, Linktree has free Pro

• https://linktr.ee/blog/linktree-non-profits-charities/
• https://linktr.ee/s/pricing

@lianilychee 10% first payment seems not super good deal from squarespace. I agree that having some basic website up makes sense for image purposes, though I think our current one does okay at that.

Bitwarden looks like it's going to be a no go, so we probably just need to buy the Family plan when we eventually need it.
