- Provide proof of registration and governing documents showing your charitable purpose
- Be accepted at Canva's sole discretion
Usually not eligible
- Government agencies, state-owned enterprises, public hospitals and political organisations
- K-12 schools, colleges and universities (they use Canva Education or Canva for Campus)

- Foundations that mainly make grants

Have these ready
- Your registration number or charity number (searched in Goodstack's registry)
- If asked: registration certificate or tax-exemption letter and governing documents (see the Goodstack entry for accepted documents)
Tips
- Apply from a team account the organisation owns so the benefit stays when staff leave.
- Canva decides eligibility at its sole discretion, so meeting the criteria does not guarantee approval.
- If you are rejected, check whether your organisation type (for example a membership body or a sports club) is in the excluded list before reapplying.
