I’m super excited to announce the launch of a new Twitter account dedicated to Non-Profits + Glide! This account is maintained by myself, a Glide Expert & Ambassador. Follow it here!
The goal of this account is to help promote Glide’s use as a tool for non-profit organizations to supercharge their workflows without relying on costly custom software or consultants.
If you use Glide at a non-profit organization, I’d love to hear your story — tell me how Glide has made a difference for you and your organization and share any projects that could spur the creativity of others in this space!
Post your thoughts below and I’ll be creating regular tweets to help show off Glide to others in the non-profit space. I look forward to hearing your stories and helping to grow this valuable community!
I support a non-profit org here in Rio de Janeiro/Brazil and I’m planning an app for them. I also started to convince them to move some old schooll processes to Glide apps/pages. Soon I will share more with you all here.
That’s awesome @Vitor_Rosas! Please share here or feel free to PM me more details once you’ve got them! Would be happy to promote your work on Twitter!
I’m very grateful to have been approved as a non-profit startup Glide user (as well as for the Twitter shoutout - Thanks, @kyleheney !). I noticed when I click “Plan Details” in the Billing section of the site, I’m taken to the standard Pricing page, which only shows Free, Starter, Pro, & Business/Enterprise pricing. Are the Non-profit details the same as the Start details? If not, where can I find a breakdown comparison between different plan details?
Glad your application was approved @mbnownet ! The non-profit pricing gets you the Business tier but at the Starter plan price.
From my understanding, the main difference between the “non-profit Business plan” and the regular Business plan is the following:
The personalized onboarding that normally comes with the Business Plan, as well as email support is not included in this discount program. Please post all questions you have in our forum.
A very good friend just created a Web-site for a non-profit on WIX. He knows I am developing in Glide but he said he saw no mention of non-profits on the Glide web-site. I just put in ‘non-profit’ in the search bar on Glideapps.com and nothing really came up about any specific program, etc except for a handful of templates.
Wix didn’t have much either but he/the board had heard of Wix and OK’d development.
I think Glide would have been a better choice and I am going to see if I can change their direction. Is their any references, examples, more info, etc (other than templates in the market place).
Right now it is a web-page only (as you can image being in WIX).
Great catch. It does seem like the Glide website is lacking in this area. For example, the note about non-profit pricing is a bit buried in the FAQ section of the pricing page, which doesn’t seem to come up in the search screenshot that you provided. IMO that should at least be the top search result.
I’ll bring this up with the team and see what they think about making this clearer on the website.
I just learned today that the non-profit account doesn’t include the new analytics feature. Are you aware of any other features that aren’t included that are in the normal business plan?
I don’t mean to complain because I think the pricing is really great for non-profits, but I just find the explanation of it confusing. Is there somewhere that clearly lays out the differences that I haven’t seen? When I signed up a while ago, I thought I was told it was the same features as the business plan at a discounted price, but maybe I was missing something.
Okay thanks. I don’t think that same form existed when I applied (I applied close to when they first offered it I believe).
I don’t see any mention of the analytics feature. Do you know why Glide wouldn’t include that feature for non-profits? I understand something like access to the support team not being included because that probably costs them more money. But does turning on a feature like Analytics cost Glide more when more people are using it? Maybe it does cost them more; I haven’t seen how it actually works.
I don’t have any more insight than you do into Glide’s decisions, but I can only assume that they restrict some features to the Business Plan in order to make that plan more attractive, even for non-profits. If a non-profit sees significant enough value in features that aren’t included in the basic non-profit plan, they can always jump to the actual business tier (if they have funding to do so). Unfortunately, there will likely be other opportunities for Glide to enhance their Business tier and they may or may not make some of those new enhancements available at the non-profit level.
Personally, I’d love to see a “Business” Non-profit plan if Glide does start adding more features to the Business Plan so that non-profits can access these new features. The current non-profit plan is fantastic and a great value, but if a ton more features are added to the Business Plan, I’d be all for paying double the non-profit rate to access new stuff! FYI — that’s just me talking and I don’t know if that would ever happen.
It would seem odd to me if Glide is trying to “push” non-profit" accounts towards the business plan. It doesn’t make sense to me simply because there’s such a big price difference. Also, offering a discount for non-profits, but then “holding back” certain features to try to get them to upgrade seems like it would kind of defeat the purpose of offering them special pricing in the first place. I don’t know either though.
I agree that I think my organization would be willing to pay more to get access to certain features if there was a level somewhere between the $25 - $249 price range though that included the other business features.
I’m so glad to hear from you. I’m also surprised to see a Vietnamese-certified expert here, heartwarming!
I just don’t know exactly how to apply from VN, I’ll reach out to @kyleheney. Thank you
To apply for the non-profit pricing, head to the link below and Glide will review your information and go from there! It’s a great option for non-profits and really helps them get the most out of Glide while working within tight budgetary constraints.
Hi, I’m new here and have been trying to apply for the special pricing as a nonprofit, but I am confused about Glide’s definition of nonprofits. More details; I work at a public hospital in Denmark. All healthcare in Denmark is free because it is tax-financed, but managed locally. My confusion starts with Glide’s application form being for non-profits and schools (NGO is not mentioned). I believe that my hospital fits into the framework of a non-profit organization, but my application was rejected because, based on the tax funding, the hospital is considered to be a government agency.
I don’t know if anyone can help me understand, but does Glide consider non-profit organizations and NGO the same? In that case, it is not clear from their application form.
I have asked Glide’s chatbot and was told that a government funded hospital is considered a non-profit organization and should be considered for the special pricing.
Can someone please explain why my application was rejected and reduce my confusion?
