AWS all with NGOs: Program de credits all with services en la cloud

Congratulations to nonprofit organizations, as they can apply to the AWS Credits for Nonprofits program, which aims to alleviate the costs of IT infrastructure and cloud-based services. This program offers $2000 USD per month for 12 months in credits to be used for public cloud services for the non-profit sector.

With this important help, organizations dedicated to the social economy will be able to meet their goals without the need to make large investments in computing resources.

If you want to learn more about other AWS initiatives for the public sector, we invite you to read this article.

The credit program, in conjunction with AWS and Techsoup, offers, among other things, data storage, tools for content delivery and development. Very valuable services for organizations to start or continue with their objectives.

Benefits of the AWS Program for NGOs

The benefits of the public cloud for the third sector are available to organizations already using AWS or those just starting out. One of the most important is the flexibility to begin scaling or deploying computing solutions without upfront investment or infrastructure acquisition. Furthermore, AWS services are on-demand ; organizations only use their credits for the resources they need, when they need them.

Thanks to cloud computing solutions offered under an effective pricing scheme, organizations can optimize data management and thereby make better decisions in donor acquisition or fundraising event planning, for example.

The solutions or services acquired will be available and can be deployed from anywhere . All employees of the organizations will be able to use them without the need for long-term agreements or contracts.

Services available with the credit program

To help NGOs stay on track with their mission, the available services include powerful cloud computing tools in the areas of computing, storage, databases, and analytics or development :

• Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2): service for providing and scaling AWS virtual servers, including migration, business applications, and database management.
• Amazon EC2 Container Service: for running applications on an Amazon EC2 cluster without the need to expand or install your own infrastructure.
