Grants we apply for

Grants and company programs NOOS applies for

Below are grant calls we can apply to, and company programs that give software, cloud and search ads to public-benefit institutes. We are not a fund and we do not review other people’s applications.

We apply for grants; we do not give them. We seek support for a public observatory of psychological health, peer programs, and companions with a crisis handoff. Funders, write to experts@noosinstitute.org

In-kind support from companies

Not cash. Seats, credits, and search ads. Usually you qualify through TechSoup or an equivalent charity check. Eligibility changes; this is a map, not a promise.

Google
Google for Nonprofits
Workspace, YouTube nonprofit features, and Ad Grants — search ads on a monthly ceiling, not a gift of cash. This is the main “search engine perk”.

What they ask of us

Validated public-benefit charity. Schools and government bodies are often excluded. Mission must not be political campaigning.

Program page
TechSoup
TechSoup validation
The switchboard. One check of your legal status opens discounted or free products from dozens of vendors. Most other perks start here.

What they ask of us

Registered nonprofit or charity in a country TechSoup serves, plus documents that prove the asset lock.

Program page
Microsoft
Microsoft 365 Nonprofit
Free or steeply discounted Microsoft 365, and a path to Azure credits. Useful for mail, files, and the boring security that funders ask about.

What they ask of us

Nonprofit validation, often via TechSoup. Commercial subsidiaries do not get the free tier.

Program page
GitHub
GitHub for Nonprofits
Free Team (sometimes Enterprise) so the research code and the companions are not sitting on a personal account.

What they ask of us

Registered nonprofit. The org profile has to match the legal name.

Program page
Amazon Web Services
AWS / cloud credits
Credits and nonprofit pricing, often via TechSoup or AWS Imagine. This is how voice notes and memory stay cheap while we are small.

What they ask of us

Nonprofit status plus a use case that is not reselling compute.

Program page
Salesforce
Salesforce Power of Us
A block of free CRM licences. Useful if donations, volunteers, and program cohorts should not live in a spreadsheet.

What they ask of us

Validated 501(c)(3) or equivalent. Churches and political orgs are typically out.

Program page
Several vendors
Design and chat: Canva, Slack, Zoom
Pro tools at nonprofit rates. Not glamorous. They remove a monthly bill that would otherwise eat a small grant.

What they ask of us

Usually the same TechSoup token or a charity number.

Program page
State and municipal desks
Socially oriented NKO support (Russia)
Access to presidential and regional grant competitions, property and information support, sometimes simplified reporting. We apply. We do not run the competition.

What they ask of us

Registered NKO with a socially oriented charter (health, science, social services). Not a commercial company with a slogan.

Grant calls we would apply to

These are inbound competitions. The “legal form” filter is the form they require of the applicant — of us — not a form we impose on anyone else.
