Nonprofits can receive up to $5,000 per year in AWS credits through the AWS Nonprofit Credit Program — but most never use them because traditional Drupal hosts can’t accept those credits. Their platforms run in their own AWS accounts, not yours.

In this episode, we break down the “AWS credit dilemma,” explore the three ways nonprofits can host Drupal on AWS, and explain why an automation platform running inside your AWS account is the simplest and most cost-effective option. From freelancers to midsize orgs to enterprise nonprofits with strict compliance needs, this guide shows how any organization can reduce hosting costs by over 90%.

  • How the AWS Nonprofit Credit Program works
  • Why credits only apply when infrastructure runs in your AWS account
  • The hidden cost of DIY hosting: $7k+/month DevOps staffing
  • Why ignoring credits is the most expensive option
  • How automation platforms eliminate the need for DevOps
  • Cost comparisons: DIY vs traditional vs smart automation
  • Best options for small, midsize, and large nonprofits
  • How AWS credits make enterprise hosting affordable
