What This Donation Includes

Devices are provided in bundles of 6, and each bundle contains the same type of device (6 Video Doorbells or 6 Stick Up Cameras). Eligible nonprofits can request up to 8 bundles regardless of type, for a total of 48 devices during the current 12-month cycle. 

Each device includes a Ring Home Basic subscription plan for the life of that device.

Who Is Eligible for This Offer

Ring for Nonprofits is only available to U.S.-based organizations whose primary mission is to support survivors and victims of domestic violence. Organizations must also be registered U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofits or federally recognized Tribal organizations.

Donated devices are intended to be given directly to survivors on a case-by-case basis, and are not intended for the use of the organizations that receive them. Products included in this offer may not be distributed to government agencies, law enforcement agencies, or public safety agencies.

Recipient Considerations

The National Network to End Domestic Violence’s Safety Net program encourages organizations to consider the following points before sharing donated Ring devices with survivors.

  • The survivor will need working Wi-Fi with high-speed internet in order for the device to work.
  • The survivor will also need a mobile device with internet access and the capability to download and run the Ring App (available on iOS, Android, and Fire OS devices).


The most ideal scenario for using these devices will be when:

  • The survivor is receiving supportive services from a nonprofit agency for safety planning around domestic violence.
  • The survivor is working with an advocate who can discuss how to best incorporate a Ring device into their individualized safety plan.

Get Started

Choose the selection that best describes your situation.

My organization is an eligible 501(c)(3) nonproft.

Please request this offer through TechSoups product page.

My organization is a federally recognized Tribal organization.

Please visit this page to confirm eligibility and request a donation.

When I tried to order, I received a message that my “type of organization is not eligible for these products.” But my 501(c)(3) nonprofit serves victims of domestic violence, and I believe it is eligible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can my organization learn more about the products offered in this program?

The Ring Video Doorbell and Stick Up Cam are offered as part of this program. Each device comes with a Ring Home Basic Plan subscription for the life of that device.

What is TechSoup's administrative fee for the Ring for Nonprofits program?

A small administrative fee of $60 per bundle of six Ring devices is required. Please note the administrative fee for these products is not refundable, and the products cannot be exchanged.

Why is a TechSoup administrative fee required? I thought Ring was donating these devices.

While Ring is donating these devices to eligible organizations, TechSoup’s administrative fee helps cover TechSoup’s operational costs. TechSoup is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and the fee allows TechSoup to continue to offer donated and discounted technology products to nonprofits around the world.

How many devices total is Ring donating as part of this program?

Through a 12-month cycle, Ring is donating up to 15,000 devices, including a free Ring Home Basic Plan subscription for the life of each device. Device requests are fulfilled on a first-come, first-served basis and while supplies last.

What is the maximum number of devices that each organization can request?

During the current 12-month cycle, each organization may order a maximum of 8 bundles (48 devices). We encourage eligible organizations to request devices on an as-needed basis. You can place as many requests as needed, as long as the total quantity for all of your requests does not exceed 48 devices. Donated devices are intended to be given directly to survivors on a case-by-case basis, and are not intended for the use of the organizations that receive them.

What types of organizations are eligible for this program?

Only approved nonprofit organizations (including Tribal organizations) that administer victim support programs and services are eligible. Devices are donated directly to these expert organizations who work one-on-one with victims of domestic violence.

How long will it take for my organization to receive devices?

Once an organization completes the TechSoup checkout process, TechSoup will notify Ring to begin fulfillment. This fulfillment process will take 6-8 weeks to complete.

Are government or public safety agencies eligible for this program?

No. Ring does not make device donations to government, public safety agencies, or law enforcement, as a matter of policy.

Where can I find more information on Ring’s privacy practices?

Privacy, security, and user control are foundational to Ring. Ring will not request or collect personally identifiable information or data from organizations regarding device recipients. To learn more about Ring's approach to privacy, please visit https://ring.com/privacy.

Where can I learn more about how Ring responds to legal requests?

For this information, please visit Ring’s Law Enforcement Guidelines.

A survivor cannot access their Ring Home Basic lifetime subscription on their Ring device. What should we do?

Each Ring device provided through this partnership between Ring and National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV) comes with a lifetime subscription of Ring Home Basic Plan for the life of that device. The subscription is automatically activated once the survivor’s Ring account is created, and the device is set up.  

To confirm that the survivor has access to their Home Basic Plan, please check the following:  

  1. From a web browser* (e.g. Safari, Chrome, Firefox), have the survivor log in to their Ring account. Note: This must be done on a web browser. The Ring application will not be able to check the trial status of your subscription. 
  2. Go to the Plan tab.
  3. The survivor should see their Ring device(s)** and their assigned subscription plan.  


* This must be done on a web browser. You cannot check the subscription type on the application. 

** The lifetime Home Basic Plan subscription only covers the specific device provided as part of this Ring and NNEDV partnership. If a survivor owns other Ring devices or if they purchase additional Ring devices, they will need to pay for the subscription on those devices. 

For additional support, please contact dvprogramsupport@ring.com.

Why has TechSoup’s administrative fee increased?

TechSoup continuously strives to ensure that the offers we share with nonprofits are available to you at the lowest possible cost — and at a fraction of their retail value. TechSoup’s administrative fees allow it to provide as many resources as possible to nonprofits like yours, globally, to organizations small and large.  

TechSoup periodically reviews and adjusts administrative fees to reflect the current fair market value of products and to support its own costs in managing these programs.  

To learn more about this change, you can visit this recent blog post. 

I created a TechSoup account and noticed someone from my organization already has access to my organization’s TechSoup account. What should I do?

Once you’ve created a member account, you notice someone else has already registered your organization with TechSoup. That's great! It’s likely TechSoup has already validated your organization. You will need your organization's association code to successfully add your organization profile to your TechSoup member account. Representatives of your organization who have TechSoup accounts will be able to retrieve the association code for you. It can be found within the organization's details in their TechSoup account. 

If the account representative is no longer with your organization, please review Learn how to represent your organization on TechSoup for alternative ways to associate the member and organization profile.
