Is it possible to obtain a free subscription to the Professional package for non-profit organizations, and what evidence is required for this?

Thank you for your response!

Hi there! While we’d like to help, our policy is that we don’t offer discounts or free credits at any level.

However, we’ll go ahead and pass your feedback up to the team so they can consider adding a cheaper plan in the future. Thank you!

Non Profit Discounts would be fantastic.  I work for a non profit that supports those in need and marginalized groups.  We use deeply discounted software as well as some free licenses for a lot of the software and applications we use.

Figma, So many tech companies offer nonprofit rates.  Why not Figma?  You can do better.

What's sad is I have been instructed to review Miro, Lucid, Canva, UXPin, Axure, etc.  All of which offer either a free or 50% at a minimum for Non Profits.  We would rather use Figma and FigJam.   

I have my own Figma Professional license for me personally for some personal projects and really like it.  Seeling into my non profit Org for adoption is the challenge.

​Figma does not offer a free Professional plan for non-profit organizations. The Education plan provides free access to Professional features, but eligibility is limited to students and educators at accredited institutions, not non-profit entities.

For non-profits, Figma's standard pricing applies. If you're interested in discounted rates or exploring other options, consider reaching out to Figma's support team directly for assistance.

I’ll add my voice in as well. We are a small non profit that helps supply resources to hunger relief organizations across our state and country. A free plan for non profits would be a huge help for us as we cannot otherwise afford a subscription. Ultimately any help you could send our way would ripple out into the world of hunger relief, ultimately helping get food into the hands of those who need it most.

I too want to stress the importance of supporting nonprofits with software subscriptions like other SaaS products. We currently have a free Canva acct for nonprofits but we need vector software, budget has to prioritize serving our participants so no room to pay the steep monthly fees no matter how much we would like to be able to. Adding nonprofits access like the Student and Educator program would be so appreciated! !

while I am currently eligible for the student discount, some in my nonprofit aren’t, and I would love to be able to use Figma as a nonprofit

As a nonprofit, we reached out to the Figma sales team last year (2024), and received a free Figma subscription via their educational license.  In September of this year (2025), we were asked to verify our educational status, which we were unable to do, since we are a nonprofit and not a student or educational institution.

After several unhelpful chats, and two unanswered emails with support, their educational department responded to our email, telling us: they can’t help.

If Figma decides they don’t want to support nonprofits, we feel disappointed, but that’s their decision to make as a company.  What’s challenging for us is that in our first sales inquiry in 2024, we were immediately given a free subscription as a “qualified educator” and after less than a year, there is no longer a free subscription for nonprofits(?)

Although we appreciated the receive free subscription, had anyone at Figma communicated to us that we would not have been able to renew it this year, we wouldn’t have wasted our time and money putting our files into their platform.

Figma, PLEASE at minimum offer nonprofits a discount and consider doing what many other software companies do for nonprofits: give us a free subscription!
