TECHSOUP STOCK
A New Approach to Product Philanthropy
"Nonprofits today are faced with significant funding challenges and operating challenges. We have been working with thousands of organizations to ensure that they have the ability to obtain technology product donations and implement them successfully with minimum cost. The intelligent use of technology is helping these organizations better accomplish their missions by serving more of their target populations or furthering their educational missions. We hear every day from nonprofits in towns large and small across the United States and Canada, about how their ability to easily obtain donated technology products has made a difference in the most fundamental sense. These stories motivate us all to help the sector achieve even more. To date, our donors have made over $160M in technology product donations available to the sector through this service at a fraction of their cost. These donations have been coupled with over 70,000 pages of relevant Web content and the personal assistance of our knowledgeable and experienced staff. We know that the sector will take the funds that they were able to save on technology as well as the technology improvements themselves to make a better tomorrow for us all."
Rebecca Masisak
Director and General Manager
TechSoup Stock
TechSoup Stock is the technology product philanthropy service just for nonprofits. Launched in January 2002 (as DiscounTech), this service is a unique collaboration with corporate and nonprofit technology providers. Thanks to our partners' generous product donations and discounts, TechSoup Stock is able to facilitate and distribute multiple product philanthropy programs in a centralized, Web-based platform.
Our mission is to foster social change in two ways: by helping nonprofits to save money for mission-critical work when acquiring technology, and by helping nonprofits use this technology even more effectively.
TechSoup Stock was created by the people at TechSoup, a trusted and popular technology resource for the nonprofit sector. TechSoup and TechSoup Stock are projects of CompuMentor, a San Francisco technology support organization for nonprofits founded in 1987.
Benefit to Nonprofits
TechSoup Stock helps nonprofits:
Increase capacity and efficiency through the proper use of technology products.
Substantially shorten the time it would normally take to obtain a corporate donation thanks to a Web-based order and fulfillment process.
Gain access to multiple product philanthropy programs in one place. There are currently 240 products from 25 providers. TechSoup Stock is the exclusive distributor for Microsoft product donations in the U. S.
Make informed decisions about products by utilizing product and provider information, customer service assistance by phone and e-mail, and TechSoup's educational resources.
Reduce line items for technology products. Our administrative fees, set to cover the costs of administering the donation programs, are as low as 4% of retail value. There is no membership fee to use the service.
Devote their funding to direct service. This means more beds can be purchased for homeless shelters, more tutors can be hired for after school programs, and more meals can be prepared in soup kitchens.
Want to Donate Products?
"Symantec is excited to be a part of the launch of TechSoup Stock. By better communicating the link between CompuMentor's technology donation portal and the educational opportunities offered through TechSoup, nonprofits will be better prepared to implement the Internet security measures that make us all free to work and play in a connected world."
