25% off Coursera for Teams licences for registered nonprofits, plus a separate Social Impact programme with free licences (minimum 250 learners; applications closed until early 2027).
Buy Teams on the website using nonprofit proof, or apply to Social Impact through the Benevity Causes Portal when the round reopens.
Great for
- Nonprofits that want a wide catalogue for many staff at a discount
- Large nonprofits and charities that run training for underserved people (the Social Impact programme)
- Huge catalogue in one place
- Nonprofit discount on Teams
- Free licences possible for large impact programmes
Watch out for
- Small teams that only want one short AI course
- Organisations that cannot commit to 250 learners (Social Impact programme)
- Cost per person adds up
- Social Impact programme is closed and needs 250 licences
- Mostly general content, not nonprofit-specific
Problems it solves
About Coursera for Nonprofits+
Coursera has two nonprofit routes. Registered nonprofits get 25% off Coursera for Teams licences, giving staff access to a large catalogue of courses and professional certificates (including AI and data). Coursera's Social Impact programme gives free licences to certified nonprofits that train underserved learners, but it needs at least 250 licences, and the application round is currently closed.
Pricing: Teams plan prices load dynamically, and I could not see the per-user price. A third-party source lists Teams at about US$399 per user per year, so the nonprofit price would be about US$299, but I did not confirm that on Coursera. The official page says 25% off for registered nonprofits and a 14-day money-back guarantee.

How sure are we?+
Partly confirmed on the vendor's pages; some details from reputable secondary sources. Prices and nonprofit programs change often, so check with Coursera for Nonprofits before you commit. Rankings on Nonprofit Tools are never for sale.
