Offense is scaling.
Access to defense should too.
Community Program participants run the full platform, every module included, at $0 in cloud service fees; you pay only for your own AI provider usage. (Paid Pro starts at $50 per Active Developer per month.)
Continuous, proof-based security testing should be available to every team. We started with Shannon, the open-source whitebox AI pentester. The Community Program is the next step: our managed platform, free for nonprofits and early-stage startups.
Who Qualifies
U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofits
Registered 501(c)(3) organizations in the United States.
100% free Keygraph Pro, for as long as you qualify. No cap on Active Developers.
Seed and pre-Series-A startups

100% free Keygraph Pro, until you graduate from the program.
Individual developers are not eligible for the Community Program, but Shannon OSS is free forever, self-hosted, for anyone.
What You Get
The full Pro plan with all generally available Pro modules: the agentic pentester, SAST, secrets detection, SCA and dependency scanning with reachability analysis, remediation workflows that end in reviewable pull requests, and the unified findings dashboard. Pentest findings are validated with a working proof of concept before they are filed.
Not a trial
You get the same managed Pro platform paying customers run, all modules enabled, for as long as you participate.
Internal use only
The program authorizes your own internal application-security use. Operating Keygraph as a managed security service or reselling access is not permitted except as the governing agreement expressly allows.
Bring Your Own AI Key
The Keygraph platform runs on BYOK (bring your own key): you connect your own AI provider key and pay your provider directly for inference usage.
Community Support
Support runs through the Keygraph community, where Keygraph engineers read and respond daily. Join the community Discord.
While the program is free there's no SLA or uptime commitment; dedicated email and Slack support are paid-plan features.
FAQ
What about non-U.S. nonprofits?
The Nonprofit track is limited to U.S.-based 501(c)(3) organizations, so non-U.S. nonprofits are not eligible for it. Shannon OSS is free forever, self-hosted, for anyone, and paid Keygraph Pro is available worldwide.
How Active Developers are measured
As defined in the Keygraph Terms of Service. We confirm the count with you during onboarding.
How long does free access last?
Free access renews monthly, with a quick annual eligibility re-certification. Your Order Form states your enrollment terms.
What if we need self-hosted or air-gapped?
The program is cloud-hosted only. For self-hosted, use Shannon OSS (free) or the Enterprise plan.
EU data residency
Available. Request it when we follow up on your application.
What counts as a Graduation Event
Your free access runs until you graduate: closing a priced round, raising more than US $10 million in total outside funding, being acquired, or growing past 20 Active Developers. The Order Form has the precise definition.
The 90-day Conversion Window
After a Graduation Event you have 90 days to convert to a paid plan, with free access continuing in the meantime. Your team keeps working; nothing migrates.
Conversion pricing
You convert at our then-current published pricing, based on your actual Active Developer count and enabled modules.
Access to defense starts here.
If you run a nonprofit or an early-stage startup, the full platform is free while you qualify.
