Canadian charity hosting
Hosting for Canadian charities
Registered Canadian charities can apply for our charity-hosting program. Check eligibility and included services before choosing a paid plan.
Service details
Before you order
Registered Canadian charities should review the charity-hosting programme before purchasing ordinary hosting; eligibility and approval rules apply.
Community hosting
Check eligibility before paying for hosting.
A nonprofit or association is not automatically eligible for free hosting just because it is incorporated or member-based. DotMoose keeps the three application paths separate so the evidence and approval rules stay clear.
Canadian fire departments
Municipal, rural, Indigenous, composite and volunteer fire departments use the separate fire-department program. Check fire-department eligibility →
Other volunteer-led organizations
Other legitimate Canadian organizations must be materially volunteer-led, community-serving and independently verifiable to use the volunteer application path. Check volunteer eligibility →
