Stories from Across the Globe

Each day, nonprofit organizations from around the world turn to TechSoup Global and our network of partners to learn how they can use technology products and knowledge to further their missions. Using our Local Impact Map, powered by Microsoft technology, you can click on any story to learn more about the NGOs we serve and the great work they are doing within their communities. In order to view the map you will need to download Microsoft’s Silverlight plug in and enable pop-up windows within your web brower.

TechSoup Global is pleased to be one of the initial users of the Local Impact Map. During this Beta phase of our implementation, please feel free to report bugs, edits, or any feedback about the tool, to us directly at: impactmap@techsoupglobal.org.

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.
