The following information applies to DreamPress plans only. For more information on DreamHost's non-profit program for Shared Hosting plans, view the following article:
DreamHost offers US-based 501(c)(3) organizations a discount on DreamPress, managed WordPress hosting. The discount of up to 35% off works out to $12.95/mo for annual signups or $14.95/mo for month-to-month signups (regularly $16.95/mo for annual, and $19.95/mo for month-to-month). The discount is good for the life of the plan.
How to apply
Due to the varying needs of non-profit organizations, DreamHost recommends that you assign your non-profit's chairperson as the actual primary point of contact/signup for the account at all times. Admin and technical staff should only be assigned account privileges as needed for the account.

Proving non-profit status
Whether you are a new customer or a current customer, in order to prove your non-profit status DreamHost must receive one crucial piece of documentation: an official United States IRS letter indicating tax exempt non-profit status under the appropriate sections of the tax code. This is often called a 501(c)(3) determination letter.
A 501(c)(3) determination letter is the only documentation that DreamHost accepts.
