# How to apply to the Startup program

*Learn how to apply for Crisp startup and non-profit discount programs.*

Crisp offers discount programs for eligible startups and non-profit organizations. These discounts are reviewed manually by the Crisp team and are available on **Essentials** and **Plus** plans only.

# ${color}[#0080dd](Startup Program)

The Startup Program is designed for young companies that are starting to grow and need a complete support platform at a reduced rate.

__You may qualify for the Startup Program if your company:__
* Is a new Crisp customer
* Has raised less than **$1M** in funding
* Has existed for less than **3 years**

#### ${color}[#445055](Startup discount amount)

If your company is eligible, Crisp can apply a **30% discount** code to your subscription.

The discount is designed to stay attached to your subscription rather than expire after a short trial period, as long as the subscription remains eligible and the discount code stays active.
