About Sponsors



Thanks to our in-country partners and the proven TechSoup Global model supported by our generous product partners, we are making great strides towards measurable impact for digital inclusion. But neither TSG, nor its partners, can fully succeed without additional financial support. The pace of technology is lightning quick, the baseline of most of the world is still very low and there is a huge amount to be accomplished before the dream of full, global digital inclusion can become reality.

TechSoup Global wants to take the opportunity to express our deep appreciation to the committed organizations that provide critical financial support.

Microsoft

Microsoft’s relationship with TechSoup began in 1995, and they continue to be a key financial supporter and lead product donor today. In 2003, Microsoft helped TechSoup launch its donations platform in North America, and in 2006, they began working with TechSoup to expand the program globally. Microsoft has invested nearly $3 million to seed the growth of TechSoup Global and its network of Partner NGOs worldwide. In addition, the company has donated more than $281 million worth of software to help more than 50,000 NGOs in 21 countries deliver critical services in their communities.

Microsoft’s leadership and vision is key to the expansion of the TechSoup Global program, and their generosity brings the benefits of relevant, affordable and accessible information technology to many nonprofit organizations around the world.

Symantec

In addition to the impact of its software donation program, Symantec has generously funded the launch of the donation program in Ireland.

King Baudouin Foundation


The King Baudouin Foundation provided matching grants to help fund the launch of the program in Belgium.

We welcome people, companies, and groups who share our vision to contact us for further information.
