TechSoup — discounted software, hardware, and tech services for nonprofits
TechSoup is a 501(c)(3) that gives eligible nonprofits, libraries, and charities access to donated or deeply discounted technology from major vendors (Microsoft, Adobe, Google, Cisco, Zoom, Norton/Bitdefender, Intuit, and more). The products are donated by the vendors; TechSoup charges a small per-item admin fee that covers eligibility validation and fulfillment.
