= 10 amazing years TechSoup Canada has been a program of the Centre for Social Innovation, and a member of the TechSoup Global Network for 10 years! TechSoup provides the transformative technology solutions, the digital platforms, and the in-person experiences that enable people to work together toward a more equitable world. In collaboration with the TechSoup Global Network, TechSoup enables companies, foundations, and governments to connect their philanthropic resources with vetted NGOs globally. “ The past 10 years has been a wonderful journey for the TechSoup Canada team. Being a non-profit ourselves, we understand the challenges organizations face with the ever-changing technical landscape. I hope the next 10 years will bring even more opportunities for us to collaborate with partners in our community to best serve the non-profit sector in Canada.” - Jane Zhang, Executive Director, TechSoup Canada
Technology Donations Program Qualified charities, nonprofits and libraries can order donated and discounted software, such as Microsoft Office and Bitdefender Antivirus, for a very low administrative fee. How is this possible? Through the generosity of technology donor partners, such as Microsoft, Symantec, Adobe and Cisco, and their commitment to help the nonprofit sector. Learning Resources TechSoup hosts and shares events, blogs, newsletters and content on nonprofit technology so organisations can find the best solutions available. The TechSoup Canada Recipe TechSoup Canada was formed in 2009 as a collaborative effort of the Centre for Social Innovation, TechSoup and the Information Technology Association of Canada. This initiative was made possible through a seed funding from the Ontario Trillium Foundation.
