File Storage for Nonprofits
Budget-Friendly File Storage for Nonprofits and Mission-Driven Teams
Affordable file storage for nonprofit organizations with global access.
Most storage and collaboration suites charge nonprofits the same way they charge enterprises: per seat, per month, whether or not the account is touched that week. A small organization with a dozen volunteers, three part-time staff, and a seasonal events crew ends up paying for far more licenses than data. cdn22.net inverts that — you pay for gigabytes stored and delivered, not for the number of people on the team.
A volunteer who uploads photos once a quarter costs nothing extra, because there is no seat behind them.
The usage that nonprofits actually generate maps cleanly onto two modes. Public-facing assets — annual-report PDFs, event galleries, grant-funded program photos, campaign graphics for the newsletter — get uploaded public and dropped into your site, email tool, or donation page as permanent CDN links that load fast worldwide for diaspora supporters and overseas program staff.
Sensitive material — signed donor agreements, beneficiary records, board minutes — gets uploaded private and shared via expiring signed URLs so a forwarded email does not become a standing leak.
For a lean team, the integration stays light. You can run entirely from the dashboard (upload, copy the CDN URL, paste it into your CMS or Mailchimp), or wire the REST API into a volunteer-built automation: POST /v1/files/{folderId}, PUT to the presigned URL, POST /v1/files/confirm-upload, then store the URL in your CRM or spreadsheet. The auth header is just your raw API key, so a Zapier step that saves event submissions or a small script that backs up the shared drive needs no SDK or cloud-console setup.
Because delivery has no separate egress surcharge, a viral campaign or a heavily shared annual report won't produce a surprise bandwidth invoice — you watch one prepaid balance and top it up when it runs low. This is genuinely affordable infrastructure, not a discounted enterprise plan; there is no free tier, but for a budget-conscious org the pay-only-for-what-you-store model is usually cheaper than carrying idle per-seat licenses.

Nonprofit storage fit calculator
Teams searching for cloud storage for nonprofits are usually deciding between a grant-funded office suite and a place to put files that the public downloads. Those are different jobs. Work through the rows below to see whether nonprofit file storage on cdn22.net covers your case, whether a grant suite covers it, or whether you want both. No login and no card, and cdn22.net has no nonprofit discount to sell you.
| Your answer | Points to cdn22.net | Points to a grant suite |
|---|---|---|
| What are you storing? | Program photos, annual report PDFs, board packets, event video, grant attachments. | Documents several people edit at once, shared inboxes, spreadsheets, calendars. |
| Who needs to reach the files? | The public, or named recipients you send a link to. Public download links and expiring private links cover both. | Staff and volunteers who each need an account inside your organization. |
| How much do you keep? | Any amount. You pay per gigabyte stored, so 8 GB costs a fraction of what 800 GB costs. | A per-user quota you either outgrow or leave mostly empty. |
| How much gets downloaded each month? | You pay per gigabyte the CDN delivers. There is no separate egress invoice. | The suite meters sharing by seat and storage quota, not by traffic. |
| Do recipients need accounts? | No. A donor, journalist, or beneficiary opens a link. There are no seat fees and nobody signs up. | Yes, if the people receiving files must edit, comment, or log in. |
| Do the files outlive the campaign? | Links keep resolving while your prepaid balance is funded, so a report URL printed in a newsletter stays alive. | Files stay tied to the account and the license that pays for it. |
Tick what is true for your organization
cdn22.net fits
Four or more ticks, and the files you care about are media and reports rather than documents your team edits together. You get online file storage for nonprofits billed per gigabyte, permanent public download links for the assets you publish, and expiring signed links for donor agreements and beneficiary records.
Use a grant suite
One or two ticks, and most of your day is email, shared documents, and calendars. A donated or discounted office suite is the cheaper answer, and cdn22.net does not replace it. We do not do co-authoring, mail, or org-wide accounts.
Use both
The common outcome. Keep the suite for internal collaboration, and move the heavy public side here: the annual report PDF, the event gallery, the program video that supporters share. You stop paying seat licenses for people whose only job is to open a file.
What that costs
You buy prepaid credits and usage draws them down, at $0.0575 per GB stored per month and $0.2125 per GB delivered. An organization keeping 50 GB of photos, reports, and event video, and serving 200 GB of downloads a month, draws about $45.38 a month from its balance: $2.88 for storage and $42.50 for delivery. There are no seat fees, so adding a volunteer changes nothing on that line. Your own numbers will differ, and a quiet month costs less because you deliver less.
