6. Who We Are TechSoup is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a clear focus: connecting your nonprofit or public library with technology products, plus the learning resources you need to make informed decisions about technology and operate at your full potential. TechSoup is a part of TechSoup Global, a nonprofit founded in 1987 that provides tech assistance to other nonprofit organizations in the United States and 80 countries. In the last 12 years, we’ve distributed over 12.4 million tech products to more than 200,000 NGOs, saving the sector more than US$4.2 billion.

7. What Will You Find at TechSoup.Org? Your nonprofit, charity, or library is working hard to make a positive impact on its community, and technology can help extend your reach. But when most of your funding goes toward accomplishing your mission, there's not always enough left over for your technology needs. That's where TechSoup comes in. We connect nonprofits, charities, and libraries to: Learning Resources: Free technology planning and learning resources geared specifically to nonprofits and libraries, and written for all levels of technical expertise. Community: Nonprofit news, informational blogs, and free webinars and discussion where you can ask questions and get advice.

For the price, there is no better value in what GrantStation offers with respect to locating grant opportunities, learning more about potential donors, communicating with them, and improving grant writing skills." Boys & Girls Clubs Alaska “GrantStation is very helpful and has already aided in expanding our funding opportunities. I highly recommend it; especially, for smaller organizations that do not have the time to do a great deal of research. Thank you!!” Boys & Girls Club of Dayton “We use GrantStation for identifying foundation funders that fund youth development programs in our geographic area. It’s a good basic resource tool at a good value” Boys & Girls Clubs of Silicon Valley “My favorite feature of it is finding out about corporations that want to give back to their local communities and/or have employees be able to volunteer. That way, even if the grant opportunity doesn’t apply, I can note that the organization might be willing to send volunteers for a project or is open to giving donations in another capacity, not even necessarily grants.” Boys & Girls Club of Santa Cruz Fair Market Value: $699 Adminstrative Fee: $299 Promotion Day Fee: $99 Useful Feedback… Savings Impact: $600
