Microsoft

As part of its commitment to the nonprofit sector, Microsoft has expanded its software donation program to better serve charitable and nonprofit organisations.

Microsoft appointed TechSoup to implement broad scale donations in EMEA (Europe, Middle East & Africa), Asia, and the Pacific. TechSoup currently delivers technology donation programs for over 25 corporate donors in the Americas and, through partner NGOs such as DonorTec, throughout Europe, the Middle East, Africa and now the Pacific region. Microsoft products were amongst the first offered through Donortec in Australia.
