We help New Zealand non-profits unlock donated and discounted technology, then make sure it is set up properly, secured and supported. You get enterprise-grade IT for a fraction of commercial cost.
There is a whole ecosystem of donated and heavily discounted technology available to registered charities and non-profits. Most organisations either do not know it exists, or cannot navigate the eligibility, registration and provisioning to claim it. That is where we come in.
TechSoup connects non-profits to donated and discounted software from Microsoft, Adobe, Cisco and others. We help you register, validate your eligibility and actually get the products deployed and working.
Eligible non-profits can receive Microsoft 365 licensing at no cost or heavily discounted, including the security and compliance tooling most charities assume they cannot afford.
Our own plans are priced differently for mission-driven organisations. You are not paying commercial rates to subsidise someone else.
The programmes change and eligibility rules change. We track it so you do not have to, and we tell you honestly when something is not worth claiming.
We will be straight with you. We are a business and we charge for our work. What we are good at is making your technology budget go a great deal further than it would on its own, by combining donated licensing, non-profit pricing and the discipline of doing things once and doing them properly.
That means we are the right fit for organisations that take their technology seriously and have some budget to invest. If you are looking for free IT, we are not your people, and we will say so early rather than waste your time.
Non-profit pricing does not mean a lesser service. You get the same team, the same standards and the same technology we deliver to councils and commercial clients.
Day to day support for your staff and volunteers, with monitoring and maintenance running quietly in the background.
Layered protection, sensible policy and the reporting your board and funders increasingly ask for.
Set up properly, licensed correctly and configured so your people can work together from anywhere.
Donated, discounted and commercial licensing, sorted and kept current so nothing lapses at the wrong moment.
A clear plan at owner and board level, so technology spend lines up with your funding cycles.
Practical guidance on where AI genuinely saves your team time, and where it does not.
Non-profits hold information about people at their most vulnerable. Health records, family circumstances, immigration status, financial hardship. A breach is not an inconvenience, it is a betrayal of the people who trusted you. We treat that with the seriousness it deserves.
The funding side matters too. Donors and funders increasingly ask how you protect data and manage risk. Being able to answer that well is becoming part of winning funding.
