TechSoup helps civil society organizations around the globe get the technology resources and services they need to achieve their missions. TechSoup's technology philanthropy programs connect nonprofits and libraries with donations and discounted offerings in the United States as well as internationally. Through the TechSoup Global Network, these programs are available in 236 countries and territories around the world.
Since the launch of our technology philanthropy program in January 2002, we've served more than one million nonprofits around the world. In that time, our distribution network has connected changemakers to more than US$10.7 billion worth of technology products and capacity-building services.
For the recipient organizations, requesting resources through TechSoup is much simpler and faster than applying for traditional product grants. For many offerings, the only cost an organization incurs is a small administrative fee for TechSoup's services.
TechSoup currently works with a wide array of corporate and nonprofit technology partners to offer a range of products and services. These donor partners help civil society organizations achieve a greater impact through large-scale donations of hardware, software, cloud-based resources, training, direct services, and more. You can review the rules and restrictions for current donor partner offerings to consider how you might partner with us.
We are always looking to build new partnerships that can help nonprofits better serve their communities. We handle all the administrative details of our partnerships and make sure that the recipient organizations have missions that align with our donors' philanthropic goals.
