TechMD's TechTIP- Donated Software

Has your nonprofit been spending its precious resources purchasing software? STOP!. Microsoft, Symantec, and many other major software companies donate their newest and best programs for FREE. TechMD saves our clients tens of thousands of dollars each year by helping acquire donated software. We can help you start saving immediately!

How much can I save?
Depending upon your situation, you may save thousands of dollars each year. The software is donated and distributed for a nominal administrative fee, usually $8-$169 per copy. Consider these few examples:
    Retail Nonprofit Cost
(admin fee)		 Savings
MS Office $499 $20 $479 per copy
MS Windows XP $199 $8 $191 per copy
QuickBooks 2005 $449 $35 $414 per copy

What software is donated?
All the big players, from Microsoft to Symantec, donate their most popular products. For example, Microsoft makes Office 2003, Windows XP, and Windows Server available to nonprofits meeting certain criteria.  If it’s a common program used in traditional offices, you can bet that it’s available as a donation for nonprofits.

Benefits of using donated software.
Donated software permits your nonprofit organization to have the “latest and greatest” software currently on the market.  By implementing the most up-to-date software, you can reduce your overall technology cost and increase the productivity of your staff. Utilizing updated software will also increase the security of your organization’s information technology system, protecting your critical company data. For example, by using the latest server software, you can permit your staff and volunteers to work from home (click here to read our article titled “Work from Home”).

Ok, I want free software.  But how?
We recommend visiting TechSoup.org. TechSoup offers a product philanthropy service called TechSoup Stock. At TechSoup Stock, nonprofits access donated and discounted technology products provided by corporate and nonprofit technology partners. TechSoup charges a nominal administration fee and some restrictions do apply. You can find TechSoup on the web at www.techsoup.org.
