TechSoup: Great software deals for non-profits
by Bruce Golden, Regional Coordinator
For non-profit organizations, every dollar needs to go as far as it can. Finding affordable software can certainly help. TechSoup is a wonderful resource for non-profits incorporated as 501(c)3 organizations. The web site is a source of very inexpensive, totally legal, and useful software (for example, the Microsoft Office 2003 Professional Suite is just $20). TechSoup has a substantial selection of software titles, everything a non-profit is likely to need. The site also has a variety of helpful information intended specifically for non-profits.
Occasionally, TechSoup offers special deals. One of particular interest to those of us who need to chase funding is GrantStation Pro, a continually updated, categorized database of funding opportunities throughout the country. For one day only, Wednesday, October 25, 2006, 10am to 8pm (EDT), you can get a one-year subscription to GrantStation Pro for $90; this would normally be $499 from TechSoup and $599 through other channels.

For the record, this announcement is an unsolicited, uncompensated testimonial and not an advertisement. WPCAMR has used TechSoup for years, and we consider it to be an outstanding resource of which all non-profit organizations should be aware.
