Factal’s free offering for NGOs includes all elements of the Factal platform. To be eligible for free access through this program, a non-governmental organization’s primary purpose must be disaster response, humanitarian aid or human rights services for people at risk.

If you’re not sure whether your organization qualifies, you can still request access. We reply to all applications.
