Prepare the necessary documents to verify your nonprofit status. This may include your organization's registration certificate, tax-exempt status letter, or any official documents that prove your nonprofit's legal recognition.
Step 3: Create a Canva Account
If your nonprofit doesn't have an existing Canva account, visit Canva's website (www.canva.com) and sign up for a new account. You can create an account using your email address or link it to your Google or Facebook account.

Once you have a Canva account, go to the Canva for Nonprofits page (https://www.canva.com/canva-for-nonprofits/) and click on "Apply Now." You will be directed to a nonprofit application form.

Fill out the application form with accurate and up-to-date information about your nonprofit organization. This includes your organization's name, mission, website URL, and contact details.
Step 6: Verify Nonprofit Status
As part of the application process, you will need to submit the required documents to verify your nonprofit status. Follow the instructions provided by Canva to upload the necessary files securely.
Step 7: Wait for Approval
After submitting your application and documents, Canva will review your request. The approval process may take a few business days. Be patient and check your email regularly for updates from Canva.
Step 8: Receive Confirmation
If your nonprofit is approved, you will receive a confirmation email from Canva. The email will contain instructions on how to access your free Canva Pro subscription for eligible team members.
Step 9: Enjoy Canva Pro Benefits
Once your Canva Pro subscription is activated, you and your eligible team members can enjoy all the benefits of Canva Pro, including access to a vast library of premium templates, images, and design elements, real-time collaboration, and the ability to create and maintain branding guidelines through the Brand Kit.
Step 10: Update Your Team
Inform your nonprofit's team members about the Canva Pro subscription and guide them on how to access it. Encourage them to use Canva Pro to create professional designs and branded materials for your nonprofit's marketing efforts.
Congratulations! Your nonprofit organization now has access to Canva Pro, a powerful design tool that will enhance your branding efforts and empower you to create impactful visual materials that effectively communicate your mission and values.
