Discounted Software from TechSoup

June 4, 2012 by Spokes For Nonprofits

The balancing act to keep your nonprofit organization stocked with software programs necessary to stay efficient (like Quickbooks, Adobe Suite, Microsoft Word, etc.) and to keep your budget aligned is an ongoing struggle – we can relate. That’s why we’re excited to spread the word about TechSoup, an organization that helps nonprofits save on IT costs with the help of donated tech products from over45 donor partners like Microsoft, Adobe, Cisco, Intuit, and Symantec.

As a nonprofit organization, you have access to TechSoup’s 400+ donated and discounted products available for a small admin fee that supports their work in the United States and around the world.

Signing up is easy! To get started with TechSoup product donations, follow these 3 steps:

  1. Join TechSoup as an individual member.
  2. Register an organization or association with an existing organization.
  3. Submit qualification documents.

Identifying products available to you is easy! You can see what products your organization may be eligible for in 1 step:

  1. Take the eligibility quiz.

Speak and Be Spoke(n)

If you’ve had a chance to use TechSoup previously or if you get a chance to use TechSoup in the future, please tell us!   We’d love to share how you are using this resource to move your organization forward in its mission with other Spokes folks!
