Introducing TechSoup Plus: A New Chapter in Our Mission to Support Yours

For nearly four decades, TechSoup has worked to ensure that every nonprofit has the technology and expertise they need to deliver on their mission. As technology has evolved, so have we, from an online catalog to a global technology resource.

Today we are excited to announce another step on that path as we streamline and simplify our membership into two tiers:

• TechSoup Core: Designed for organizations that know exactly what they need and just want direct access to the technology that helps them — whether that is securing discounted products, reading an expert blog post, or attending a webinar. This is the current, no-cost membership level held by the majority of our community, whose experience will not change.
• TechSoup Plus: Designed for organizations that want more support in selecting, adopting, and optimizing their technology. This paid membership tier provides a "human layer" of strategic support — offering the expert guidance, peer community, and chief technology officer (CTO) level of insights needed to turn technology tools into meaningful solutions tailored to the needs of their missions.

The Problem: Nonprofits Need Tech Leadership

Most small-to-medium nonprofits can't afford a full-time CTO, and in fact, many operate with no formal tech leadership or strategy at all. Yet, in a world of increasing technology complexity, the need for strategic tech advice and planning is greater than ever.

The Solution: TechSoup Plus

TechSoup Plus is our response to this need. Building on what we started with TechSoup Boost and Quad, our TechSoup Plus membership tier is ideal for nonprofits that want to dig deeper into their strategic technology planning.

While our free, core TechSoup membership continues to provide the essential marketplace access that you know and have always enjoyed, TechSoup Plus affordably provides much-needed CTO-level guidance and a human layer of support that turns technology products into full-fledged solutions.

What TechSoup Plus Brings to the Table

We designed TechSoup Plus as a membership tier for organizations that want to dig deeper into their strategic technology planning. A TechSoup Plus membership gives your organization access to:

• Custom Technology Assessments: A comprehensive and deep look by our experts into your current tech stack and spending to find efficiencies.
• One-on-One Expert Consultations: Sessions with our support staff to answer questions about the most widely used technology solutions.
• Advanced Learning Discounts: Competitive pricing on our expert-led, six-week "deep dive" courses and unlimited access to over 150 basic and intermediate courses.
• A Managed Peer-to-Peer Community: A secure, moderated "Engagement Hub" where you can connect with other nonprofit leaders and subject matter experts — free from bots and commercial noise.
• Exclusive Resources: An inventory of over 250 nonprofit-focused tech resources, including videos, case studies, and live expert-led webinars.
• Reduced Admin Fees on Select Offers: Reduced or waived admin fees on selected products and services in the TechSoup Marketplace

For a full list of the benefits available through both TechSoup and TechSoup Plus, see our Membership page.
