Low Cost Software
Since 2001, charities registered with technology trusted have saved more than £183 million by accessing donated software from companies like Microsoft, Google, Symantec, Adobe and more.
By registering with them for free they hope to upgrade a charity’s software – helping you to become more efficient, save funds and focus on what’s really important – your cause.
The only cost is a small fee per licence received, which they charge to keep the programme going but that’s usually only about 4% of the regular cost of the software.
Examples are:
- Microsoft Office 2016 for £25*
- Adobe Acrobat XI for £48*
- Norton Security Deluxe for £8*
- Office 365 and Google for Nonprofits for free
* Prices are valid as of 9th March 2019 and exclude VAT
