TechSoup Digital Storytelling (TSDIGS) 

TechSoup Digital Storytelling 

All year long, TechSoup provides tools and resources for nonprofits and libraries to take their digital storytelling to the next level. Why? Because we understand that effectively telling your organization’s story inspires, motivates, and activates the people who believe in the good work you do.

In addition to tools and resources, TechSoup offers an annual challenge combining instruction and friendly competition into a hands-on media-making project.
