How to apply for Non-profit Sponsorship Program?

HackMD's Team Program offers excellent functionality and flexible permissions for $5 per person per month. However, if you are a non-profit, educational organization, or are launching a cause-oriented community or project, you may apply for a non-profit sponsorship from HackMD.

Free private teams are limited to 3 members, but we can expand your private team to 20 members upon application and review. Additionally, if you have greater needs, we would be happy to discuss further options for collaboration.

Sponsorship Review Criteria

In addition to public welfare, non-profit activities, education, and promotion, we will consider the principles of similarity to the nature of the product, the urgency of the team's needs, and the priority of the disadvantaged in terms of resources as supplemental considerations, due to the limitations of the total amount of sponsorship allocation. Given the limited resources, HackMD may appropriately screen and prioritize sponsorships or assist in the transition to other solutions.

You may want to consider creating a public team.

At HackMD, team workspaces are categorized as private or public.
There is no limit to the number of members in a public team. In a public team's workspace, every note is published.

If your team or organization is committed to spreading knowledge and you have a wide range of people to collaborate with, a public team is an excellent choice. Regardless of whether a team is public or private, you need to upgrade to HackMD Prime to access the features of a paid plan.

If you opt for a public team, you won't need to pay for the number of members. However, if you require the benefits of a paid plan and cannot afford it, consider applying for sponsorship.
