Meet Donny, DonorTec’s investigative reporter

DonorTec is proud to announce a new addition to the team, Donnie the DonorTec wombat. Donnie brings to DonorTec a wealth of enthusiasm and experience in investigative journalism. See his work first hand here in his piece entitled What is DonorTec? Make sure you forward this on to any Australian nonprofit you know that might benefit from receiving technology discounts or donations. 

There is no job too big or small for Donnie so if there is something you find confusing about the DonorTec Program or if you would like to see an expose on a particular aspect of the program please let us know so Donnie can investigate. Please email your possible topics to donnie@donortec.org

Your questions answered

Q. I have received my one set of Microsoft media disks for the product I ordered but is there a way I can get more copies?

A. Yes. Please see the following link that will include a step by step guide on how to download (with screenshots included) the product you need.

Q. Can I use Microsoft donated software for personal use?

A.  It is one of Microsoft’s licensing conditions that donated licensed products may be used only by and for the benefit of an eligible charitable organisation. All licenses donated via DonorTec are non transferable which means they must remain the property of the organisation that ordered them. If the software to be installed is predominantly for private use unfortunately you will not be able to install it on any member’s computers however charitable your intentions. 

How would you like your organisation to be promoted in a case study? 

How many of you have implemented DonorTec donated or discounted software and have been pleased with the result? Would you like your organisation to be promoted in one of our newsletters?  

All we need you to do is send an email to support@donortec.org stating your organisation name, products you have received and the name, email address and phone number of the person who you would like us to contact about how your organisation has benefited. Please entitle the email with the name of the relevant partner/s (eg Sophos, Newsmaker, GiftWorks etc) from which your organisation has procured products.

Are you registered with DonorTec?

You have received this important update because you are on our mailing list but have you checked to see whether or not your nonprofit is registered to place donation and discount requests via DonorTec?

We don’t want you to miss out on products and services from companies like Microsoft, Symantec, Sophos and Cisco so if you have any queries contact us or simply register now.
