LuminAID is committed to providing lights to those without access to a safe, reliable light source and the ongoing development of communities in need. If you aim to bring light to an area without access to safe, reliable lighting, we would be honored to support your work.
Andrea Sreshta and Anna Stork invented LuminAID's solar lighting technology after the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. They were inspired to design a simple, rechargeable light that could be cost-effectively distributed after disasters. Through our nonprofit partners, the durable lanterns and phone chargers have been used in more than 100 countries across the world.
Apply to LuminAID's Nonprofit Subsidy Program if you intend to use our solar lanterns and phone chargers for charitable or humanitarian use. As a member of the program, you'll receive discounted rates, one on one account management, and additional resources.
While we prioritize registered organizations for our subsidy program, we do offer subsidies to individuals and community groups. We encourage you to apply for a subsidy even if you are not affiliated with a registered organization.

If you're leading your nonprofit through a transition like this, we wanted to put together some resources that will help you see what others have done, and understand best practices for your organization's security, productivity, and communications to stakeholders.
With many nonprofits shifting to remote work abruptly due to the COVID-19 coronavirus, we've prioritized adding new remote work options and tools to the resources we share. As you review the software below, note that there may be different levels of discounts for nonprofits impacted by COVID-19 versus nonprofits actively working on a cure or frontline healthcare for COVID-19.
