Many of you may not know this but ClickUp has been an incredible partner to nonprofits, and that support is a major reason so many of us are proud to have chosen it as our project management platform.

However, access to ClickUp AI remains a paid, add-on feature for nonprofit organizations, even for those already using the product at discounted rates.

This letter is a formal, respectful request that ClickUp remove that limitation and generously donate full AI access to qualified nonprofits.

Many nonprofits are under intense financial pressure as public funding and individual giving face heightened uncertainty under the current administration and broader economic conditions. At the very same time, demand for nonprofit services is increasing, leaving organizations with more work to do and fewer unrestricted resources to invest in productivity tools.

The organizations that rely on ClickUp are doing necessary and often life-saving work—from health and human services to education, housing, and advocacy. If we cannot agree that this work deserves every possible operational advantage, we are effectively accepting that many of the problems nonprofits exist to address—disease, inequality, hunger, and other systemic harms—will continue to burden our communities unnecessarily.

In the limited time that our organization had access to ClickUp’s AI implementation, the increase in productivity was astonishing. ClickUp AI’s ability to work directly where the work lives—inside tasks, docs, communication threads, and connected emails—made it a uniquely powerful bridge between information and action. Our nonprofit is fortunate to receive an enterprise-level donation from Perplexity AI, which is an extraordinary asset for research and writing, but it cannot replace the value of AI that is natively embedded inside ClickUp’s workflows and data. ClickUp AI has the potential to become a vital accelerant for nonprofit teams that are already stretched thin.

Importantly, this request is not about giving nonprofits a “competitive edge” over one another. Nonprofits are not competing in a traditional market sense; their only real “competition” is the scale and urgency of the social problems they exist to solve. Every marginal gain in efficiency translates into more lives served, more programs delivered, and more donor dollars going directly to mission.

For these reasons, I respectfully and humbly ask ClickUp to:

Provide full ClickUp AI access, at no cost, to verified nonprofit organizations worldwide.

Clearly communicate this offering through your website, nonprofit landing pages, and marketing channels so organizations know this support exists.

Publicly frame this decision as part of ClickUp’s broader social-impact commitment, demonstrating that your AI investments are designed to make a measurable difference for those working every day to make the world better.

Doing so would not only transform the capacity of thousands of nonprofit teams; it would also show that ClickUp is willing to put its AI expertise and resources behind the people who roll up their sleeves daily to protect civil liberties, improve quality of life, and fight against disease, inequality, and other human suffering. That is a story worth telling—and a legacy worth building.

With gratitude,

Jason Joseph
