From fundraising and data management to artificial intelligence, digital tools are the engine behind so many aspects of nonprofit work today. Technology isn't just a "nice-to-have" anymore; it’s the backbone of how we deliver servicdes, manage operations, and keep our communities connected. But let’s be real: navigating a sea of endless tech options to find what actually fits your mission is no small feat.
Our research has also shown over and over that organizations with the confidence in their technology decision-making have better digital resilience.
That’s why we created TechSoup Plus, a membership option that gives nonprofits access to deeper tech support resources to help with tech selection, adoption, and optimization.
Navigating the 2026 Landscape
Nonprofits today are under more pressure than ever to do more with less. At the same time, the digital landscape is changing fast, and the stakes are high. Cybersecurity is a top concern: nonprofits are now among the most targeted sectors for cyberattacks because of the sensitive data we hold and the limited resources we have to protect it.
At the same time, fragmented systems often keep us from turning data into real impact. Many organizations feel the "digital gap" most acutely when it comes to artificial intelligence. With 76 percent of nonprofits still lacking a formal AI strategy, the risk of falling behind isn't just about tech — it’s about missing opportunities to scale our missions and serve our communities more effectively.
TechSoup Is Here for You
TechSoup is a nonprofit just like you. We believe that technology is a powerful equalizer, but only if it’s accessible, affordable, and easy to use. For over 30 years, our mission has been to ensure that the "changemakers" — the people working on the ground to feed, clothe, educate, and protect — have the same caliber of tools as the world’s biggest corporations.
We don’t just provide software discounts; we provide a pathway to digital maturity. Whether you are a small, local food pantry or a large international NGO, we are here to help you navigate the digital shift so you can focus on what you do best: changing the world.

TechSoup Plus at a Glance: Supporting Nonprofit Tech Success
We know that the path to digital transformation is steep. Even when you have the right software, the learning curve can be exhausting, especially for teams without a dedicated IT department.
TechSoup Plus was designed as a direct response to these hurdles. Launched in 2022 and originally known as Quad, TechSoup Plus is an affordable membership option that offers access to technology experts and an engaged tech-focused community designed to help small nonprofits learn from each other to simplify their tech journeys.
When you join TechSoup Plus, you aren't just accessing a community; you're gaining access to a wide variety of resources to support your tech journey every step of the way. It’s a space to ask the "dumb" questions, join events hosted by tech experts who can answer the questions you need answered, and exchange best practices with other nonprofit leaders who are facing the exact same challenges you are.
