TechSoup Global

TechSoup Global Reach

TechSoup provides knowledge and resources to nonprofit and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in North America and around the globe. We help them choose, implement, and sustain the essential technology needed to serve their communities. We forge partnerships between unlikely allies to address the unmet technology needs of these organizations. And over the past two decades, we have built a deep understanding of how to deploy essential technologies in environments short on staff and starved for capital.

TechSoup Global helps nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and charities outside the U.S. and Canada obtain donations of essential technology products. This offering is modeled on TechSoup's TechSoup Stock service (www.techsoup.org/stock), which distributes donated and discounted technology products to qualifying organizations in the U.S. and Canada for a small administrative fee.

TechSoup administers the international program in partnership with corporate donors (including Microsoft, Cisco, and Symantec) and a network of local NGOs.
