I've recently done this for the GNOME Foundation, it's fairly straightforward and takes about a week from scratch to completion, but is indeed a per-organisation thing. Firstly, you need to register with TechSoup (https://www.techsoup.org/) who verify your 501(c)(3) status. That then gives you discounts on a number of products, including AWS credits. You can receive $2000 USD worth, and they last 1 year. You can re-apply each year. There's an administration fee of $175 USD, but read below. It's worth noting that there's a TechSoup discount scheme called Boost, which gives further discounts on the administration fee charged. This costs $79 USD for a year, and lowers the AWS admin fee to $80 USD, so is worth while going for. This assumes that the operating budget is less than $500k USD. Shout if you want more details.
