I work for a not for profit company. For me this means that there are no share holders and no dividend payments or bonuses paid.Sorry for the harsh comment but... This statement says that your nonprofit company is being managed/budgeted poorly, that's why you cannot afford a newer console. That's not a dig towards you at all, please know I hope for a better future for you. I have built a career around non profit / educational theater with budgets that appropriately allow them to do the work they are capable of. It may not be your hill to die on, but don't let their poor management be an excuse against accomplishing your art.
I'm going to go ahead and warn against this. The ETC Nomad EDU package is for a student or faculty in an educational setting. You can totally buy a Nomad at regular price, but DO NOT let anyone use you to buy an EDU Nomad package. ETC lets you buy only one in your lifetime. Doesn't matter if you bought one as an undergrad, and then want to buy another as a grad student. You get one, period. If a non-profit wants to get a Nomad, they can buy it at regular price. Also, ETC vets every application for an EDU package. Because it's a heavily subsidized program, they are very careful to make sure that people don't abuse it. (dealers can't stock it, they have to get it direct from ETC, every time) I hear sob stories every year of someone who bought one for the theatre they were at, but now they want one for themselves or are at another venue. Too bad, so sad. You get one at the subsidized price, period, the end.I suggest find a student or educator to join your team and get them to buy the nomad system. Y

Also, as another side note, the EDU package currently does NOT contain the Gadget II, right now the ETA for the Gadget II isn't until Sept 2022, and that's still a rough estimate. I recommend waiting till the regular Gadget II is back to being a part of the EDU package before pursuing it.
