"The IT donations from Stifter-helfen.de gave us access to up-to-date PC equipment at minimal cost. This way of channelling donations is a great example of how businesses can support nonprofits unbureaucratically. With this exemplary approach, Stifter-helfen provides assistance to social benefit organizations, who, in turn, can put a stronger focus on their actual missions. Keep it up!"

Meet the TechSoup Global family

We partner with NGOs around the world to deliver relationships, technology, and expertise that enhance their service to their communities. These partner NGOs customize our offerings, providing their beneficiaries with resources that combine the best of global knowledge and local perspective.

This global network of local communities empowers individuals to build and share their solutions to social challenges, identifying and accelerating the most innovative of those projects. With over 27,000 members registered online and events in 79 cities around the world, NetSquared is a vibrant on- and offline community.

Perhaps the largest technology philanthropy program in the world, TechSoup.org connects nonprofit organizations and libraries to the resources and knowledge they need to operate at full potential. Visited by over 188,000 individuals monthly, this online community is a place to build capacity, make connections, and share solutions.

In 2008, TechSoup Global was selected by the Council on Foundations to host and manage NGOsource, an equivalency determination service that will help U.S. grantmakers streamline their international grantmaking process. The service is expected to launch in 2012, pending regulatory approval.

We teamed up with U.K.-based GuideStar International (GSI) to improve our capacity-building programs for civil society. GSI works with civil society leaders worldwide to develop transparency and civil society organization reporting in their own countries. GSI supports this growing network through the provision of a shared common technology platform as well as advice and support in each country’s development process.
