In which Office 365 Plans is Planner available?

Planner is still being rolled out so it could happen it's not rolled out for you...by the way, Planner was not available for not profits at GA and there is a promise from Microsoft to add Planner to Office 365 for non profits...no ETA defined yet
But it is available in my non-Profit, though only in the E3 or E5 plans. It's just weird that it isn't included in the E1 plan.
I'm going to try opening a support ticket. Maybe it was a simple oversight with it not getting 'turned on' for the NP E1 SKU.

According to Support, Planner is not available for non-profit E1, only for the regular/commercial E1.
EDIT: Here's the email reply I got from support after talking with them on the phone. I find it incredibly frustrating that none of their written material (including this email) explicitly states that non-profit E1 is excluded from Planner. I wonder if it's because non-profit E1 is technically E2.
Thank you for taking my call today. As I have discussed, MS Planner will only be available for the following plans: Office 365 Enterprise E1, Office 365 Enterprise E3, Office 365 Enterprise E4, Office 365 Enterprise E5, Office 365 Education, Office 365 Education E3, Office 365 Education E4, Office 365 Business Essentials and Office 365 Business Premium. When generally available, Planner will be included in several additional Office 365 plans. Stay tuned for more details.

Stephan, that's what my support guy thought too at first, pointing to the same article, and he was especially hung up on E2 (which doesn't really exist as a plan as far as I can tell, except in one or two places in the admin center for what's otherwise labeled as non-profit E1: do regular E1 people see that too?), but then he checked and came back and said that E2 and E1 were the same and that we should qualify, but that he thinks not all have been provisioned yet (agreeing with an earlier post). Haven't heard back from him though.
Update: We've been on First Release all along.
