3 PUBLIC USE for all-volunteer organizations requires permission.
Please pay attention to the fact that "all-volunteer" and "non-profit" are NOT the same. If you are a all-volunteer

(a) Name, full address and background of the organization,
(b) Intended usage for the image(s),
(c) Address of the non-profit web site (if any).

image(s) are required is unsufficient). Please be sure to read the section General Conditions.
C. General conditions for free image use

receive an answer, it probably means permission was not granted.
