Non-profit discount
Non-profits can receive a 20% discount on all Ghost(Pro) plans by subscribing to an annual billing cycle.
How to apply:
- Set up your free Ghost (Pro) account by starting a 14-day trial at Ghost.org
- Choose an annual billing plan during the subscription process to automatically receive the 20% discount
Note: Ghost is operated by a non-profit organisation and does not offer additional discounts beyond the annual billing reduction. However, the Ghost software is free and open-source, allowing you to self-host if preferred.

Ghost is a great option for non-profits that want full control over their website, blog, or newsletter without being tied to big platforms. It's open source, fast, and designed with publishing in mind, which makes it ideal for sharing updates, stories, and campaigns with your community. You can use it for both public content and member-only posts, and the built-in newsletter tools are a nice bonus. The 20% discount on annual plans helps keep it affordable, and you can also self-host it for free if you have the tech skills. It's a more hands-on platform than something like Wix or Squarespace, but for teams that want flexibility and ownership, it's a strong option.
