Free Nonprofit Tools
One folder of paperwork gets your club free design, scheduling and Microsoft 365 tools.
Free for your club
One folder of documents for every application.
Most free nonprofit programs ask for the same proof that your club is a not-for-profit. Gather it once, keep it in a club folder (not on one person's laptop), and reuse it.
Put these in the folder
- ATO not-for-profit lodgement. Your club's self-review, from the ATO Business Portal or your tax agent.
- Constitution extract. Only the page that says the club is not-for-profit.
- ABN extract. Free from the Australian Business Register.
- If your club is incorporated: your certificate of incorporation.
Apply from a club email address, with the president or secretary as the named applicant. The account then stays with the club at changeover.
Apply from a personal Gmail. When that member steps back, the club loses the account. See a second name on everything.
Each program decides for itself, and some ask for different documents. Canva's checker, for example, may want different proof: see the Canva steps below.
What the folder gets you
