Microsoft believes NGOs deserve access to the best technology tools to do their important work in their communities, and donates its software in support of their goals.
Corporate responsibility is central to Cisco Systems’ culture and history. Cisco established its Product Donation Program in 1998, distributing new and refurbished networking equipment, including switches, routers, and fi rewalls, to nonprofits doing important work in its focus areas. One of the cornerstones of the optimized program is TechSoup, which serves as the virtual donation platform for Cisco’s new program. Thanks to this partnership with TechSoup Stock, thousands of nonprofits have been able to improve their service to their communities.
