Do You Need Help Navigating Microsoft Donations Through TechSoup?

Microsoft's Donation Program through TechSoup is by far one of the most in-demand and equally misunderstood programs available to nonprofits and libraries. Just like with all of the donation and discount programs through TechSoup, the vendor (in this case, Microsoft) sets the restrictions for how much, how often, and which types of organizations can receive their products. They generously donate, so we happily oblige.

What a lot of folks don't realize about the Microsoft Donation Program is that there is often more available than what people realize. This week, fellow blogger Elliot Harmon and former 'Souper Matthew Palmer, published an article explaining how the whole process works — from eligibility restrictions, order limits, frequency of requesting donations, and additional benefits available.

The article includes handy little charts like this one below that show the timeline for Microsoft donation requests.
