A look back at what we accomplished in 2011, and our priorities for 2012.

For the third consecutive year, Adobe and TechSoup Global have joined together to award three $1000 cash grants plus Adobe software to nonprofit organizations and libraries that demonstrate outstanding or innovative use of Adobe products to increase their impact and further the missions of their organizations.

In short, technology risk management is essentially loss management. When a hard drive containing all of the donor data, grant funding information, or financials crashes and there are no backups available, the time and resource required to re-build/recover the information would be devastating to an organization.

River Rally 2009

TechSoup Canada had the great opportunity to be a part of of River Rally 2009, sponsored by Alberta Ecotrust. The River Rally is a capacity building conference for watershed stewardship groups in Alberta. The conference offered a variety of workshops on how to communicate with impact, and ways to leverage volunteers and money. In addition, it was a great opportunity for organizations to network and learn from each other.

Welcome to TechSoup Canada!

My name is Jane Zhang and I'm the program manager for TechSoup Canada. As the January 30th, 2009 launch date approaches, both the TechSoup Global and TechSoup Canada teams have been working hard to make the transition to TechSoup Canada a reality. Next week I will be spending a week in San Francisco to meet with TechSoup Global and receive training on our new platform.
