Talk:Non-profit Discount
From DreamHost
Billing method for non-profits
I was confused whether you needed to pre-pay and expect a refund. Clarified by support:
"2 - you could alternatively just choose "Pay by Check" on the sign-up page. This will not bill you for anything since we will be waiting for your check. Once the non-profit hosting plan is setup the charge would be removed from your account, it would be activated, and you would not need to send in a check."

Various questions
Conversation with Phiya C, might answer some questions you have:
1) I have the 501(c)(3) letter from the IRS in PDF form (scanned), is there any way I can email it instead of faxing it?
I'm afraid, we only accept verification over fax. Sorry for the inconvenience.
2) The wiki doesn't specify if we must select a particular hosting plan. Am I able to pick a 5 year plan? Are other options, such as use of a private MySQL server available?
Any plan should be fine as it would then be converted once status is verified. Please do choose the option to pay by check. (mysql and web PS not included)
(non profit account approval can take longer than paid accounts. If setup time is of concern, just pay for the plan, and we'll reimburse you the full amount later)
3) Once setup, will Eagles Nest need to continually send you information of any sort?
Nope!

Non-Profits Outside the U.S.?
- Does or will Dreamhost recognize non-profit organizations registered in other countries? Say Canada? Thanks! Satri 21:11, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
- Recognition is not really the issue here; DreamHost "recognizes" organizations in other countries, but in order for them to have a free account, they must produce the U.S. IRS 501(c)(3) Determination Letter. The wiki article is very clear about this when it says "A 501(c)(3) determination letter is the only documentation that we will accept. If you are a non-profit organization and do not have a determination letter, regardless of the reason, you will be denied free hosting. " -- Rlparker 06:15, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
