Symptoms:
- I'm working for a non-profit organization and we want to use Unity for our project.
- I'm looking for discounts or free licenses for Unity since we're a non-profit.
- I'm unsure if Unity offers any special pricing for non-profit organizations.
- We're considering Unity for our non-profit's commercial work but are concerned about licensing costs.
Cause:
Unity does not currently offer special discounts or free licenses for non-profit organizations engaged in commercial work. The only exception to this policy is for non-profit educational institutions that are training new Unity developers.
Resolution:
if you're a non-profit educational institution training new Unity developers, you can apply for Unity's Education Grant License at https://unity.com/products/unity-education-grant-license/. For all other non-profit uses, including commercial projects, you'll need to budget for standard Unity licensing costs.
Review Unity's standard licensing options and pricing on Unity's official website (Section 1.1), and choose the appropriate license tier based on your organization's needs and budget.
Consider exploring Unity's free tier if it meets your project requirements and your organization's revenue falls within the specified limits. Remember that Unity's policies may change over time, so it's always best to verify the current status of licensing options for non-profits.
