Apple announced last month that it would be waiving the $99/year App Store developer fee for governments and nonprofits, and eligible organizations can now apply. However, there are a number of conditions …
First, and most importantly, notes TechCrunch, the organization must be a legal entity.
When applying for the fee waiver – which is done after enrolling in the developer program – you’ll be asked to supply an EIN (or other tax ID), DUNS Number and Apple ID.
The individual submitting apps must have the authority to enter into agreements on behalf of the organization.
Finally, the apps you are submitting need to be free – though you are allowed to solicit donations without Apple taking its usual 30% cut.
You can apply for the fee waiver here.
