Hootsuite Nonprofit Discount (HootGiving Program)

Up to 75% off

Some apply links may be affiliate. See our policy.

Up to 75% off Hootsuite's social management platform for registered nonprofits, perpetually.

Hootsuite's HootGiving Program gives registered nonprofits permanent discounts on Professional or Team plans—typically 75% off. You get the full feature set: bulk scheduling, AI-assisted copywriting, real-time analytics, unified inbox, and team collaboration. The time savings alone (roughly 3 hours/week) frees up your comms team for strategy and fundraising. Validation runs through TechSoup or Percent, so you'll need 501(c)(3) status or equivalent nonprofit registration. The discount applies to your entire subscription, not just a trial period, which is rare in the nonprofit space.
