Requirements

the following requirements:
Must have locations in one or more of the following HP site communities:
(Check this list of zip codes to see whether
your organization is eligible for the HP grant.)
Organizations outside of these preferred geographic areas will be reviewed
on an exception basis under specific and limited circumstances. Must have a mission that falls within one or more of these focus areas:
The following organizations are NOT eligible for the HP grant:
Additional information about the HP grant eligibility requirements: My organization received
a grant or sponsorship from HP in 2005 through the HP Employee Giving
Program. Does that mean that we are not eligible to apply? Sponsorship by HP in 2005 does not preclude your organization from applying.
Through HP's Employee Giving Program, employee donations of cash and/or
equipment are matched by HP. Organizations that received support through
the HP Employee Giving Program are eligible to apply. In addition, organizations
that indicate HP employee or HP retired employee involvement will receive
additional consideration. Are schools or churches with 501(c)(3) designations eligible
to apply? Schools are not eligible to apply for the HP Technology for Community
Grants Initiative and are encouraged to apply for the HP Technology for
Teaching Grant Initiative at www.hp.com/go/hpteach. Churches will only
be considered if they have a 501(c)(3) status and the program seeking
support is nonsectarian. Why are "member agencies" not eligible to apply for this award?
Member agencies include organizations such as trade associations and
professional associations. This initiative is targeted toward nonprofit
organizations that are direct service providers to clients. Should my organization apply if it operates outside the preferred
geographical areas? Organizations outside the preferred geographic areas will be reviewed
on an exception basis under limited circumstances. We're a national nonprofit organization -- what if one or more
of our branches or affiliates is inside the preferred geographical areas?
Each branch or affiliate of your organization should register and apply
separately at TechSoup Stock. Will HP offer this program outside the U.S.? The HP Technology for Community Grant Initiative is only being offered
in the U.S. and Puerto Rico and there are no current plans to offer it
outside the U.S. and Puerto Rico. Consequently, we will not consider applications
from organizations that are not based in the U.S. or Puerto Rico. Puerto
Rican organizations, please contact hp@techsoup.org for information about
how to register at TechSoup Stock.
