Educational organizations are required to provide a certification verifying that they are not-for-profit and accredited, which the institution's main administrator often provides.

• Airtable operates on a subscription model, billed either monthly or annually. The annual plan discount does not apply to workspaces receiving our nonprofit discount. The 50% nonprofit discount is based on our monthly Team plan rate of $24/user/month, bringing the discounted total to $12/user/month ($144/user/year).

• Discounted Team plans must be paid using a credit card. To upgrade to a Business or Enterprise Scale plan, add a payment method to your workspace. One-time payments are unsupported.

• Airtable bill for changes like adding/removing collaborators or upgrading/downgrading your workspace plan monthly. Check out our Changing your Airtable workspace plan article for information on downgrading to the Free plan.

No. Adding Airtable AI AI to nonprofit and educational plans isn’t available.

No. Airtable doesn't refund charges incurred before being approved for a discounted plan. However, we offer prorated refunds in Airtable credits if you subscribe to the discounted Team plan.

For example, suppose you are the sole workspace collaborator on the monthly Team plan ($24/collaborator/month). In that case, you pay $24 at the beginning of the monthly billing cycle. Then, you switch to the discounted Team plan ($12/collaborator/month) halfway through the month—you will be charged $6 on the next billing cycle.

• $12 for one collaborator for the next month.

• Subtract a $6 credit—you initially paid $24, but based on your actual usage, you should have paid only $1—half of $24 plus half of $12.

Review our Airtable billing article for additional billing information.

Once your organization is approved, you'll have 4 weeks to activate your discounted plan. If you'd like to upgrade on a date more than four weeks out, please reach out to us.
