Exciting news: Microsoft expands software donation program

Microsoft has been a valuable partner to the nonprofit community for as long as any of us can remember. And their partnership just got even more valuable as they’ve made some exciting changes to their global software donations program in an effort to make their technology tools available to more nonprofit organizations. They’re increasing the allotment of software products NPOs can request, making more categories of nonprofits eligible for donations, and launching a “Get Genuine” helping organizations to ensure their computers are running genuine Microsoft operating systems.

And that’s not all! Through their partnership with TechSoup, nonprofits can now request Microsoft software donations via TechSoup as many times as they like (meaning no waiting for a year to roll slowly by while waiting to make another request). You can get the full details on Microsoft’s Unlimited Potential Blog, on TechSoup’s website via their Overview of Microsoft Donation Program page, or at a free webinar offered by TechSoup on August 4 (space is limited and registration is required).

Thanks, Microsoft!
