Editor's Notes
- Welcome everyone to: Title Thanks so much for joining us today.
- Before we get started I want to make sure everyone is comfortable using Readytalk, the webinar platform we are using today. You can chat using the box in the lower left side of your screen. At any time let us know if you have any technical issues such as audio problems or being able to view the slides. You may ask questions for our presenters at any time and we will keep track of them. We will keep all lines muted so that you can get a clear recording to refer to later. You will get that full recording, slides, and any links we share today in a followup email from me by tomorrow. If you lose your connection, you can go back to your registration email to reconnect. If you were registered more than an hour ago, the reminder email has the PowerPoint slide deck attached as a link in the right hand column. Keep in mind a lot of todayās webinar will be a live shared demo so that wonāt be in the slides, but will be in the recording to view later. If you are hearing an echo, you may be logged in twice, so you will need to close one of the Readytalk windows. If you have any other technical issues, dial into the 800 number.
- TechSoup doesnāt just help NGOs overcome barriers to effective use of technology. We also help NGOs overcome language, economic, geographic, cultural, knowledge, and access barriers. We create new ways to access technology, new paths to connect and network, and new means to learn and develop skills ā all so that NGOs can operate at their full potential, more effectively deliver their programs and services, and better achieve their missions.

- Hopefully you fall into one of these categories, but if not, you can still benefit from TechSoupās free webinars and resources, which Iāll talk about a little later in the presentation.
- Not only does TechSoup have a large catalog of software, but we also offer many hardware options as well.
- The best way to explore your hardware options at TechSoup is to visit our āHardware Favoritesā page. The URL is pretty simple to remember and Iāve listed it on this slide. Youāll see our newest products at the top and our most requested laptops, desktops, accessories, and more. http://www.techsoup.org/hardware
- I am so excited to tell you about our newest hardware offering, mobile hotspots from Mobile Beacon. As a nonprofit and one of the largest national educational broadband service (EBS) providers in the U.S., we are deeply committed to helping libraries deliver services with a combination of services and products. You can use Mobile Beacon hotspots for outreach at schools or farmerās markets, to power your bookmobile, or to start a hotspot lending program so patrons can bring the internet home.
- Hereās the pricing structure for Mobile Beacon hotspots. Before purchasing the hotspots, youāll want to make sure that your area has Sprint coverage.
- The Refurbished Computer Initiative (RCI) program at TechSoup provides high-quality, competitively priced desktops, laptops, and other hardware to eligible libraries. TechSoup has partnered with industry-leading computer refurbishers. The RCI program offers new and refurbished hardware products from top manufacturers like Dell, HP, and Lenovo. All products are designed to meet the rigorous standards of corporate users, not individual consumers for home use. TechSoup's refurbisher partners guarantee that all hardware is in excellent working condition and has undergone thorough testing, repair, restoration, and cleaning. Refurbisher partners offer standard and extended warranties on most products and one-year extended warranties and troubleshooting assistance. They accept returns on damaged products, subject to their approval. Computers come with custom images that include preinstalled software, saving organizations both time and money. Most desktop and most laptop computers include a Windows operating system, a Microsoft Office suite, and Microsoft security software preinstalled. Administrative fees include shipping and handling.
- You can save on Dell products, including laptops, desktops, servers, printers, and more. Employees and volunteers at your organization can also save on their own Dell purchases. They can save on Dell laptops, desktops, TVs, gaming systems, accessories, and more.
- I also wanted to talk about TechSoup Boost (www.techsoup.org/boost), a fairly new subscription program that bundles together software and hardware. This program letās you sample a number of programs without having to pay that admin fee. Programs included in Boost this quarter are Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Elements, Tableau Desktop, Tableau Training and Support, Shopify, and more. Small organizations (annual operating budgets of $500,00 or less) - $79 Midsize (more than $500,00 and less than $2mil) - $99
- JourneyEd.com has partnered with TechSoup to make academic discounts on more than 5,000 software and hardware products available toĀ allĀ nonprofits. Most of these discounts were previously only available to students, schools, or others in the educational marketplace. Ruckus Wireless - Ruckus Wireless? I put a picture of the SF public libraryās makerspace because JourneyEd is an excellent resource for makerspaces. JourneyEd.com products come from more than 200 vendors and include products like Camtasia, digital cameras, Corel products for video production, 3d printers and filament, charging stations, and so much more.
- This is how the JourneyEd catalog looks to TechSoup members.

- So letās talk about how to get registered so you can start getting technology from TechSoup
- The sign up process is really simple. You first register as an individual ā every TechSoup account has a person and an email address attached to it.
- Youāll then be asked to register your organization. Before you sign up, we recommend having your EIN Employer Identification Number or FSCS ID for your library on hand. As you go through the registration process, do not hesitate to contact TechSoup if you have questions or concerns. Our client services team is reachable by phone and by email and youāll have that information available as you go through the process.
- Letās talk about how to find products.
- There are a few different ways you can look for products on TechSoup.org. You can search by keyword or use our browse dropdown menu.
- When you search, youāll not only see relevant products, but youāll also see related articles, webinars, blog posts, forum posts, and more.
- You can also search by donor partner, like Adobe for example, and see all of the products we offer donations or discounts on.
- And finally, you can browse by solution, like mobile, web design, accounting, and more.
- When you find something youāre interested in, you can click on it and youāll be taken to the product page. Here you will find information about the admin fee, system requirements, eligibility requirements, and other important documentation. When youāre ready to buy, you simple place it in your shopping cart and check out when youāre finished shopping.
