Overview
Shortcut is honored to extend a full membership at no cost to eligible nonprofit organizations as thanks for the hard work your team does to make the world a better place.
Eligibility
We welcome applications from organizations that hold a valid charitable status with either the IRS (in the United States) or a local tax service/charity commission, and that meet the following eligibility requirements.
Your organization must not be:
- A legislative or political activity organization
- A church, association of churches, or other religious or evangelical organization
- A school, college, or related organization
- An organization that attempts to influence public opinion
- A hospital, organization involved with health insurance or group health plans, or related organization
- A private grant-making, independent, or operating foundation
- An organization that discriminates on the basis of gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, political affiliation or beliefs, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression
- An organization that promotes a particular religious affiliation, dogma, or doctrine as part of its mission or in exchange for its services
Being affiliated with a religious organization is not in itself disqualifying. If you feel your organization closely matches these requirements but aren’t sure, please complete the application for consideration. Our support team will assist in verifying your status.

Organization Owners can submit a Shortcut for Nonprofits application.
If your organization is not already using Shortcut, please take a moment to create a team first. Be prepared to provide:
- Your organization’s legal name
