> YC's Non-profit Program is a startup accelerator track that works with a small number of non-profit startups in each YC batch. It particularly favors non-profits that aim to cover their operating costs by charging fees for their products and services, rather than solely relying on donations. This approach is designed to ensure value delivery and provide insulation against economic downturns.
