Hi Michael,
Thanks for checking out Community Events!
We do have a Nonprofit Partnership Program that offers free (unsupported) licenses for either Events Calendar Pro or Event Tickets Plus to approved organizations, but there is not currently an equivalent for Community Events. Sorry for the bad news there! However, we do occasionally run general promotions on other plugins. The best way to find out about these is by subscribing to our newsletter.
If you need Community Events now and would like to test it out to see if it will work for your project, we do offer full refunds within 30 days of purchase, so feel free to do so! Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
Thanks,
Jennifer
