About TechSoup
TechSoup is a nonprofit with a clear focus: providing other nonprofits and libraries with technology that empowers them to fulfill their missions and serve their communities. As part of that goal, we provide technology products and information geared specifically to the unique challenges faced by nonprofits and libraries.
Learning resources, including articles, blogs, free webinars, and forums led by expert hosts are available to all users. Once qualified with TechSoup, nonprofits and libraries can access 400+ technology products from more than 40 donor partners — including Microsoft, Adobe, Cisco, Intuit, and Symantec. All donated and discounted products are available for a small admin fee that supports our work in the United States and around the world.
Getting Started with TechSoup
For news and information specific to the needs of nonprofits and libraries, start browsing our forum discussions, blog posts, and Learning Center articles. To join the discussion in our community forums, you'll need to join TechSoup — there's never a fee to join.
For product donations, organizations must join TechSoup, register a nonprofit or library (or become an authorized agent for an already-registered organization), and submit qualification documents. For more information visit our How to Use TechSoup page. If you're an NGO based outside of the United States, please see the TechSoup Global Network.
TechSoup.org Is Part of TechSoup Global
TechSoup.org is a project of TechSoup Global, a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit, that was founded in 1987 on the belief that technology is a powerful enabler for social change. Since that day, we've assembled a worldwide network of individuals and organizations that share this conviction. This network — one that you likely belong to — includes foundations and corporations, governments and NGOs, social entrepreneurs and volunteers. Together, these allies have developed sustainable, community-driven technology solutions to meet today's most urgent social challenges.
