The OpenShift Resource Grants program was created to help Non-Profits, Educational Institutions, and Open Source Initiatives get their projects up and running quickly and easily, without having to waste time setting up infrastructure, configuring servers, or negotiating contracts.
The OpenShift Resource Grants Program is free to join and gives you access to a package of benefits including:
Free resources, including larger gear sizes and additional storage, to develop and launch your application.
Enjoy the same benefits as Silver Plan customers, with access to award-winning Red Hat support.
Communicate with an experienced team for application and operational support, marketing opportunities, early access program consideration, product feedback, and more.
Get Featured in the OpenShift Application Gallery, the OpenShift Blog, social media, or on our customer pages to help promote your organization.
Red Hat OpenShift Online takes care of operations so you can focus on your product. Write in the languages and frameworks you choose, and leverage the security, scaling, and support from Red Hat, the world’s most trusted name in open source technology.
Receive prioritized access to early access and beta services, invitations to speak at local events, access to OpenShift Commons, and the ability to tell your story to a wider audience.

Please note that this request form should generally be used for Open Source or Research Projects for which the results will be publicly available, not for requesting additional resources for student accounts for classroom programming projects. Those should be able to run within the Free plan limits in most cases.
Red Hat OpenShift Online resources for Non-Profits, Educational Institutions, and Open Source Initiatives are reviewed and granted on a case-by-case basis using the information gathered via the application form.
Please be as detailed as possible about your project and the resources that you are requesting access to. You may want to review our pricing page before filling out this form to see what kind of resources we currently offer. It would also be useful to review our Developer Center to make sure that the technologies that you would like to use are available and/or supported on the Red Hat OpenShift Online PaaS.
Currently the Resource Grants Program is limited to non-profits, educational institutions, and open source initiatives in the United States, Canada, Europe (EU member states, Iceland, Norway, Switzerland), Israel, and Russia.
You will be notified within 2 weeks if you have been accepted into the Resource Grants Program at which point you will be asked to confirm enrollment. Only accepted applicants will be notified, although we may contact you if we need additional information.
The account credits are initially applied for 6 months, but extensions, discounts, and custom options can be negotiated based on your participation and need.
Due to high demand, please allow up to 2 weeks for us to review your application. Only non-profits, educational institutions, and open source initiatives that have been accepted into the program will be notified.
The Red Hat OpenShift Online Silver Plan includes additional free storage for all gear sizes (up to 6GB), Red Hat professional support, access to larger gear sizes and additional storage, and prevents your applications from automatically idling.
In addition to the customer support that comes with the Silver Plan, you will have a dedicated contact for any additional questions you have. Please see the support scope and SLA for more details.
