Key Subscription Benefits

• Zero admin fee items• Special hardware discounts• Expert advice• TechSoup voucher and much more!

Admin Fees start at $79 for one year for small nonprofits

JourneyEd.comOne in the latest of new partnerships, TechSoup is working with JourneyEd.com to bring educational discounts to the nonprofits we serve.

For the first time US nonprofits are able to benefit from educational savings. Some are over 80% off retail, but others are much lower. Since TechSoup does not maintain these business relationships, we do not control the available discounts.

We advise users to shop intelligently and compare so they are benefitting from the best savings possible.
