LMS & Online Training Platform for Nonprofits

You don't need one. Ruzuku has built-in video meetings that run in the browser on every plan, including the free one — up to 60 people in a conference room and 250 in a presentation room. There's also a Zoom integration if you want breakout rooms or a larger group, but it's a second option rather than a requirement.

Multiple staff members can work in the same account with distinct roles: account Admins, Guides (who own courses and author content), and Facilitators (who lead student cohorts, respond to discussions, and review assignments without editing course settings). Turnover is best handled by anchoring course ownership to a generic organization account (such as [email protected]) rather than an individual staff member's email, and adding team members as Facilitators. If a staff member leaves, simply revoke their facilitator access — your courses, student rosters, and completion histories remain completely intact under the organization's account.

If your account was initially linked to an individual's personal Stripe account, connecting your organization's Stripe account will not move existing recurring subscriptions automatically — Stripe continues billing those subscriptions through the original account. To transition members without double-billing them: cancel their current subscriptions (they will maintain access through the end of their current billing cycle and will not be charged again on the old account), create the price points under your organization's newly connected Stripe account, and send members the checkout link to re-enroll before their access expires. Billing will then process directly into the organization's account from their next renewal.

Yes. Create a 100%-off coupon on your course or subscription price point. For recurring memberships, set the coupon duration to 'forever' (for ongoing full sponsorship) or 'repeating' for a specific number of billing cycles (e.g., 6 or 12 months). Then copy the checkout link with the coupon embedded. The sponsored learner registers through checkout for $0; if a time-limited sponsorship ends, regular subscription billing begins automatically. This gives sponsored participants full access without requiring you to change the public price point for other learners.

Yes. You can create a dedicated private price point for the total group amount (for example, $1,500 for 10 seats) and invoice the partner organization directly. Once payment is received, you can invite their staff members by email or share a private registration link with a maximum enrollment limit. Alternatively, you can issue a 100%-off coupon capped at that exact number of redemptions so the partner's staff can register individually at $0.

Duplicate the course each year (e.g., 'Annual Safety Training 2026' and '2027'). In Ruzuku, removing a participant from a course does not reset their completion history or quiz logs. Cloning the course creates an empty roster with clean progress tracking for the new year, while preserving the previous year's completion timestamps, quiz scores, and issued certificates in your records for compliance audits.

Yes, and about half the nonprofits here do exactly that — no checkout, no public listing, learners invited by email. The CFE Fund runs all of its trainings this way. You can also charge for some programs and not others from the same account, so a free public course and a paid certification can sit side by side.

You can issue certificates, require lessons to be completed in order, and export enrollment and completion records — including for an outside evaluator who doesn't work for you. CVOEO's Preferred Renter Certificate is accepted by Champlain Housing Trust and Burlington Housing Authority, so a completion record from Ruzuku can carry weight outside your own organization.

No to all three, and it's better to know now. Ruzuku issues certificates and tracks lesson completion, but it does not do weighted CEU scoring, it does not import or export SCORM packages, and it cannot prove that a specific person watched a specific video all the way through. If your accreditation depends on any of those, we're the wrong platform and a call will establish that in fifteen minutes. Ruzuku is also not HIPAA compliant.

Yes. Qualified nonprofits get 30% off annual plans, which puts Pro at $1,398 a year. There's also a one-time Lifetime Pro option at $4,950 with no recurring fee, which suits grant-funded budgets. See our nonprofit pricing page for the details, or book a call and we'll tell you which one fits.

Both are routine here. We invoice, we accept purchase orders including through procurement vendors, we can send the invoice to a finance contact who isn't the person using the account, and we've split payments across two budget years when funding required it. Tax invoices in a second currency are also possible.

Participants don't download an app or navigate a complicated setup — it works in any browser. Our support team will help your learners directly with technical questions, which matters when your program staff are the ones who would otherwise be fielding them.
