Background
Currently South Side Hackerspace: Chicago uses Amazon Web Services to host a number of our technical solutions, including our LDAP system, main website, and this very wiki. In recent months, the cost has started to approach around $40-$50 monthly, which isn't terrible for the amount we're getting out of it. However, AWS has a techsoup grant available for $2,000 of credit, renewable yearly. The credits expire after the 12 month period, and will not roll over to the next year. Techsoup charges an "administrative fee" of $175 for this grant. Doing the math, we'd be receiving $167/mo of credit for $14.58/mo. We currently pay $40-50 per month, so this is a pretty wise business decision if you ask me.
