About TechSoup Global:

TechSoup Global is a nonprofit organization that has been successful in
creating a suite of high impact services that facilitate corporate
philanthropy and benefit community service organizations in a
financially sustainable model. For more than two decades, our mission
has been to work toward the day when every community service
organization on the planet has access to the technology resources and
information they need to achieve their own missions. Founded in 1987,
we currently have more than 170 staff members and an annual budget of
about $23 million. TechSoup Global helps other nonprofits better serve
their missions by acquiring and using technology, implementing web and
social networking, and receiving grant funding and product donations.



Working with capacity-building partners across the world, TechSoup
Global is actively expanding our program outside the US. We establish
partnerships with in-country NGOs to implement our highly effective
product donation program, while adapting to local business practices,
laws, and cultural imperatives. In the process, we're building a global
network of partners all focused on empowering NGOs through the effective
use of technology. We're in 22 countries to date and adding more each
month.



Through our TechSoup Stock website, nonprofits find a broad range of
software donated by leading tech companies such as Microsoft, Cisco,
Symantec, Intuit, and Adobe, along with content and community resources
tailored specifically for a nonprofit audience. To date we have enabled
over $1 billion in technology donations world wide.



Based upon the strength of our global network, our expertise in building
scalable web systems, our history of working both with donors and with
recipient NGOs, and our experience building one of the fastest growing
sustainable social enterprises, TechSoup Global was recently selected to
build a new service for international philanthropy. Backed by major
foundations and key philanthropy sector partners, this new service will
create a global database of nonprofits and NGOs, making it easier and
less costly for international grantmakers to provide cash grants to
social benefit organizations in countries outside the U.S.



TechSoup Global is dedicated to creating and supporting an environment
of openness, trust, and fun where people's differences are valued and
respected, and where people of diverse backgrounds participate fully in
our organization. We believe that the diverse cultures and perspectives
of our staff will help us better serve our clients. TechSoup Global is
an equal opportunity agency and will not allow discrimination based upon
age, ethnicity, gender, national origin, disability, race, size,
religion, sexual orientation or socioeconomic background.
