Do you offer discounts for non-profit or educational organizations?

We offer a 25% discount on all editions of PHPKB knowledge base software to schools, colleges, universities, and non-profit organizations. We understand that running an organization isn’t cheap. With budget and personnel restrictions, it’s often hard to get the latest technology approved or prioritized.

For nonprofit organizations who are doing the valuable work of improving society, we’re trying to change that. We are offering a 25% discount to help nonprofits build their knowledge base with PHPKB and utilize knowledge management so they can save time, empower their team and make the best use of the resources. To request a non-profit discount you need to send us an official e-mail from your organization’s account. We may also request proof of your non-profit organization, issued by the respective authorities of your country.

Similarly, proof of accreditation or affiliation may be required from schools, colleges, and universities, when ordering an Academic License.
