Free for nonprofits Updated September 2026

Free email for nonprofits

Staying in touch with your members, donors and volunteers should not weigh on a nonprofit's budget. Emitlo offers nonprofit organizations free transactional email, with case-by-case sending limits.

Why Emitlo offers free email to nonprofits

Nonprofits do essential work with often limited means. Yet every donation receipt, every newsletter and every membership confirmation has to arrive reliably. By covering your email sending, Emitlo lets you devote your resources to your mission rather than your technical infrastructure.

You use the same sending infrastructure as our paying customers: REST API and SMTP relay, double DKIM signing, automatic SPF/DKIM/DMARC setup, EU hosting compliant with GDPR and real-time deliverability monitoring.

What the program includes

  • Case-by-case sending limits — matched to your volume and communications.
  • Fits donation receipts, newsletters and memberships.
  • Full authentication — DKIM, SPF and DMARC configured automatically.
  • EU hosting, GDPR compliant — email content is not retained.
  • Fast integration — REST API and SMTP relay ready to use.

How to apply

Applying is a single email to [email protected]. Introduce your organization and include the information below so we can set a suitable sending limit.

  • Sending domain name
  • Estimated monthly email volume
  • Email type (donation receipts, newsletter, memberships, etc.)
  • A short description of the organization (mission, size, activities)
  • Country where the organization is registered
  • Person to contact (name + email)

Every application is reviewed individually.
