Don’t Miss Out – Get your orders in by the end of the financial year

Some of our donor partners limit their order requests to 1 each financial year. DonorTec wants you to be aware that if you request any software from the donor partners listed below before July 1, your account will be reset again to allow you to place another order anytime from July 1 onwards.

Please note that any unused allotment from this fiscal cannot be carried over. Please note: This message does NOT apply to Microsoft and Cisco products.

To help you make the most of this opportunity, we’ve highlighted some of the donors whose products are affected by the fiscal year end. Maximise your benefits by placing a request from any of the donors below so that you may place another request after 1 July.

Please keep in mind your organisation is more than likely eligible to request donations from not just one but multiple donation programs.

SPYNS Making a Power(point) in the Community

Spyns Inc. is a community-based, non-profit organisation in the Penrith area. They work with young people, kids, families, Aboriginal people, mums and dads, seniors – pretty much everyone.

Their submission in DonorTec’s recently held Capacity Building Competition justified their runners up prize. They explained how donated software via DonorTec has enabled them to keep their information more secure and accessible, as well as directly increased their networking capabilities

Michael Addison from SPYNS says “Funding is very tight as our most important income is not being increased yearly. We cannot employ our management staff or enough administrative staff and for an organisation with such a large area to serve, we needed some help."

"The Microsoft donations we received via DonorTec have enabled us to provide every staff member with the necessary software to prepare their projects, funding submissions, training material and to be connected to the rest of the team members in the other 4 locations and their communities, and the savings mean better projects.”
