Are hosting bills draining your mission's resources?
In this episode, we explore the "hidden treasure" of AWS funding specifically designed for mission-driven organizations. We break down how nonprofits can move away from expensive, restrictive managed hosting and transition to a model that costs nearly $0 by utilizing their own AWS infrastructure.
What we cover in this episode:
- The Grant Landscape: A deep dive into the AWS Nonprofit Credit Program ($5,000/year) and the massive Imagine Grants ($70,000 to $300,000).
- The "Credit Gap" Explained: Why your AWS credits won't work on platforms like Pantheon or Acquia, and how to fix it.
- Eliminating the DevOps Tax: How to avoid the $85,000+ annual salary for a DevOps engineer while still getting enterprise-grade performance.
- Ownership vs. Management: Why running Drupal in your own AWS account is the only way to maintain control and maximize funding.
- Automation for Impact: How orchestration platforms like DevPanel handle the heavy lifting of server setup, scaling, and security at zero platform cost.
Whether you are a small grassroots organization or a large international NGO, this episode provides a technical and financial roadmap to digital sustainability.
