Are universities or colleges ever eligible for a nonprofit rate?
No. Although many universities and colleges have tax-exempt statuses, they do not qualify for MEF’s Nonprofit/NGO discount. This discount is solely reserved for non-profit organizations performing community service such as domestic violence shelters, rape crisis centers, family planning agencies, youth advocacy organization, etc. Universities and colleges may purchase DVDs, hosted streaming, and digital site licensing at the University/College price. The nonprofit Media Education Foundation relies on institutional purchases to support the production of our films.
