Non-Profit - do I sign us up for Biz Acct?

I am on the board for a medium size non-profit.  We have 8 or so Board Members, and dozens of active volunteers.  I need a solution for our shared passwords for about FOUR of us or 5 at most , and since I've been personally using 1Password for 10-15 years, I want to get us set up on 1Password.

Now my understanding is with a Biz Acct, the assigned users (some of whom will eventually 'roll off' of their 'jobs') will be allowed to set up PERSONAL accts.   Am I asking for a headache in managing this? or Can users get their free personal... then if 'severed' from the shared, they can JUST sign up for and pay for their Personal Acct?

I was contemplating a different solution -- of going for the FAMILY plan.  What are the Pro's and Con's of this?  Cheaper.  But am I losing any needed control?  What about when ppl roll off/get added to a job? Maybe I run out of slots..

ANY advice is very very welcome!

    Hello katharyn-ofj​! 👋

    Thank you for the questions! You can sign-up for 1Password as a non-profit organization here: 1Password for Non-Profits

    When using 1Password Business your employees are entitled to a free 1Password Families account which will stay free for as long as your 1Password Business membership is valid, and they remain an employee. When an employee leaves your organization, they can unlink their family account and add a payment method to keep using it: Get a free 1Password Families membership when you use 1Password Business

    1Password Families is meant for personal use and doesn't include many of the features that businesses require for employee management like reporting, role-based vault sharing and permissions, and more. You can find a comparison of the plans on our website here.

    I hope that helps!
