Why work for TechSoup Global?

Since the founding of TechSoup Global in 1987, our aim has been to harness the power of technology — not for technology's sake, but as a means to accelerate social impact. We believe that a strong civil society is as critical to local communities as healthy business and government sectors. And we believe technology has a significant role to play in strengthening organized civil society — by democratizing access to information and resources to achieve effective, system-changing outcomes. This belief inspires us and drives us to continue working with our partners to deliver relevant, innovative, and scalable programs. With the support of 90 (and counting) leading technology companies — including Microsoft, Adobe, Symantec, Cisco, Intuit, and Redemtech — TechSoup Global and its network have reached more than 384,000 nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) around the world. To date, we cumulatively distributed more than 10 million software and hardware solutions and enabled recipients in 52 countries to save more than US$3.4 billion in IT expenses.

Together with our partners around the world in the TechSoup Global Network, we strive to ensure that technology solutions are complemented by practical, locally relevant educational content. We engage a vibrant, active community to share knowledge and resources on technology for social benefit. In 2012, we had 3.8 million unique visitors to our websites from 190 countries and delivered newsletters around the world to more than 300,000 subscribers in 16 languages. We see enormous potential in strengthening our core capabilities: eligibility services, social sector data, and community-oriented technology innovations. We see new relationships to be brokered among our various stakeholders, which include foundations and corporations, government agencies and NGOs, social enterprises and intermediaries, public libraries, and individual volunteers working on all kinds of social challenges.
