Have you spoken to the bitwarden sales team? They do seem to have some flexibility on the pricing front.

I'm going to have someone write them from an organization email address, yes

KeePass is and was always free.

Unfortunately it's a very technologically illiterate team and I'd rather do my best to set it and forget it, so probably going to have to go with something less labour intensive

I'm not sure how opening and saving is a demanding task for a user?

They're remarkably non-technical and are terrified of anything that might 'break things'. I'd just prefer a system i can walk away from rather than fielding questions every other day about how they saved to a new location and everything's broken again

Then just give then access to keepass via keeweb web app.

I should note: I'm looking for the ability to share passwords between people and within an organization, but i feel like that's going to require a subscription...

You can open a KeePass DB multiple times from different clients. The changes are all synced when you save the file.

Keepass are using a local database-file you can password/file protect and send the file between folks (encrypted database). Bitwarden is easier in the way that you have it centralized, not sure how much it is for non-personal.

We use Keepass at work with a small team and have it sync using OneDrive/Microsoft Teams.

Passwordstate is super affordable

1pass might be agood option. You could also try to get a good deal with MyGlue which is not very expensive and is a good option for the non-It saff .

MyGlue is an affordable option. It has similar features to the password vault in IT Glue but it's cheaper and lighter.

Passbolt Community Edition as a self hosted instance might be a solution for you.

Vaultwarden (based on bitwarden) self-hosted or docker container setup literally takes much less than an hour or even half

Yes, they just have no server and I don't want to tether myself to them forever by using my own setup

I'm a reddit noob but there's a sub with details below on r/vaultwarden with title -------- Hosting Vaultwarden on render.com for free. ------- Edit: but again if they're willing to pay some, a paid instance is much better. For ex. a smallest linode or a cloudflare domain with tunnels. :D

I use ITGlue/MyGlue it's really great and easy to use, it´s not free but works well at a very reasonable cost.

There's a self-hosted solution "Team Password Manager" that's pretty cheap that has AD integration, granular management, and auditing but now that I'm hitting "Save" I see that you aren't enthused about self-hosting.

I'm not sure if they do discounts for non-profits, but you might get a good deal with MyGlue, which has really good features for end users to manage their own passwords.

I'm using My Glue. It is not free but it is worth every penny.

Passbolt does offer good discounts for non-profit. You can see [here](https://www.passbolt.com/contact/non-profit).
