The Cloud Credits Program is intended for small-to-midsize news organizations with less than 1,000 employees, that are not government-owned or taxpayer-funded (including educational and non profit organizations). Cloud credits will be available free of charge to the beneficiaries of this program for a duration of 18 months, or December 31, 2021, whichever comes sooner.

• (ii) ordinarily resident in a US embargoed country,
• (iii) otherwise prohibited by applicable export controls and sanctions programs from participating in the program,

We will strive for a balanced distribution of credits to eligible applicants, including geographic balance. Therefore, not all eligible applicants may be selected for the program given the limited supply of credits. We are partnering with leading news associations globally. Applicant must be a member of one of these organizations or their equivalents so that we can vet their eligibility (see application for list of associations).
