Description
The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Credits Programme provides credits for cloud services to eligible charities and public libraries throughout the United Kingdom. The AWS cloud platform offers access to high-powered computing, storage, data warehousing, development, analytics, content delivery, and other services to help charities scale without investing in physical infrastructure.
This grant provides $1,000 in AWS credits valid for 12 months that can be applied toward usage fees for AWS on-demand cloud services, but other select Amazon Web Services are not eligible. Organisations may request one grant of $1,000 in AWS credits per fiscal year. See the Requirements tab for more information.
Benefits for Organisations
If you already use or want to get started using AWS cloud services, you can use AWS credits to:
-
Save on IT costs by not investing in physical infrastructure and provisioning only the resources you need when you need them
-
Increase giving through AWS advanced services to gather, process, analyse, and visualise data cost-effectively to make informed targeting and fundraising decisions
-
Analyse big data pipelines, store petabytes of data, and share results with collaborators
-
Equip volunteers, temporary employees, or other staff with virtual desktops on the fly without long-term licensing agreements
-
Widen your global reach and deploy your solutions where they are needed
-
Manage all of your organisation’s AWS cloud services, platforms, applications, and systems from one console
Support
AWS provides Basic Support free of charge, which should be sufficient for most organisations’ support needs.
If you want to upgrade to a Developer or Business Support plan, you can pay for the usage fees with your credits. However, AWS credits do not cover support launch fees. AWS recommends that you carefully review the plan details and usage fees before you make this decision.
Choose Carefully
The administrative fee for this grant is not refundable.

When Charity Digital Exchange approves your donation request, we will send a message to your organisation email address with instructions for obtaining your credits.
