Nonprofits Leave No Stone Unturned In The Search For Revenue
But There's Still Money To Be Found On The Other Side Of The Ledger
ACRE finds and negotiates cost-saving deals and discounts exclusively for nonprofits. And there's no cost for the service.
Four Ways ACRE Helps Nonprofits Spend Less
Negotiated Savings
We research qualified options and negotiate better terms for the purchases and renewals you already need.
Exclusive Offers
Access limited-time provider offers, ACRE-only rebates, and nonprofit pricing that is not broadly advertised.
Instant Discounts
Browse 200+ nonprofit discounts, negotiated deals, and exclusive rebates in the Discount Clearinghouse.
Flexible Support
Get affordable administrative and project support when your team needs extra capacity without adding headcount.
Big Organizations Have Procurement Teams. Most Nonprofits Don’t.
Limited time and buying power should not force your organization to accept higher prices or weaker contract terms.
ACRE gives small and mid-sized nonprofits an experienced purchasing partner—without adding staff.
If your nonprofit has ever:
- Renewed a contract without comparing alternatives because no one had time
- Accepted a vendor’s first price because negotiating felt too difficult
- Suspected you were overpaying but could not justify the research hours
ACRE was built for you.
A Simpler Way to Buy Better
1. Tell Us What You Need
Share one upcoming purchase or renewal and, if available, what you currently pay.
2. We Do the Legwork
ACRE researches qualified options, compares pricing, and negotiates on your behalf.
3. You Stay in Control
Review the options and choose what works. There is no obligation to buy.

Free for Nonprofits. Transparent by Design.
ACRE is primarily funded by participating vendors through referral fees and negotiated agreements, not by the nonprofits we serve.
We evaluate the strongest available options regardless of whether a vendor compensates ACRE. If a recommended provider is an affiliate partner, we disclose that relationship before you make a decision.
Some services may include pass-through costs from third parties. Those costs are explained clearly in advance.
ACRE's Purpose
ACRE was founded in 2022 by Craig Price, a former national association executive with more than two decades of experience in association management and nonprofit operations consulting.
ACRE helps small and mid-sized nonprofits reduce operating and purchase costs by leveraging the collective buying power and best spending practices within the nonprofit community, so more of their money can go toward their mission.
