There's a nonprofit that wants to do several meetings for lectures for about 3000 students. The presenter will show screen or share a document for the most part. At the end students would raise hand and have some discussion, so they will be just viewers for most of meeting

Of course, big corps like teams and google meeting won't Handel this much, not for free at least.

Could I suggest jitsi to them? Can it Handel this much? How much is it going to cost?

I mean Jitsi is just software. It's just a matter of how much the hardware can handle. Streaming a feed to 3k viewers will require some serious hardware.

I tried suggesting such a thing to the nonprofit I volunteer for and I was lambasted so good luck with that.

vital parts of jitsi are not multi-threaded, so a beefy machine with fast single-thread performance will be needed. but the network and bandwidth requirements will probably be an even bigger obstacle. going off their recommendations, it'd be at least 7.5gbps for 720p to 3000 participants.
