techsoup.org

Dave had asked me to submit a blog on processministry to let everyone know about a really great resource we were introduced to called TechSoup.org...TechSoup has literally saved us a few thousand dollars.

TechSoup.org is a company which acts as a filter for organizations wanting to donate their software (whether out of generosity or tax purposes) to nonprofit organizations. Techsoup then gives this software away charging only a small fee for their overhead. All you have to do to receive this donated software is:

• a. prove you are in fact a nonprofit organization underneath the umbrella of the AG by faxing a letter explaining the discrepancy of name and address between you and the actual 501(c)3 papers held by the AG
• b. have your EIN number

That's it...here is what we were able to purchase...and yes these are full copies...you can register them and get all updates applicable for that software.

Microsoft Office Professional Edition: $20
Adobe Creative Suite for Mac: $160.00 (originally $1800.00)
Norton 360 for PC: $30 for 15 licenses
Norton Internet Security for Mac: $15

There you have it...
By the way...their customer service is really good...if you run into any problems or just need help getting through the process you can email or give me a call.
