6. Who We Are TechSoup is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a clear focus: connecting your nonprofit or public library with technology products, plus the learning resources you need to make informed decisions about technology and operate at your full potential.
For more information, please visit
TechSoup is a part of TechSoup Global, a nonprofit founded in 1987 that provides tech assistance to other nonprofit organizations in the United States and 80 countries. In the last 12 years, we’ve distributed over 12.4 million tech products to more than 200,000 NGOs, saving the sector more than US$4.2 billion.

7. What Will You Find at TechSoup.Org?
Your nonprofit, charity, or library is working hard to make a positive impact on its community, and technology can help extend your reach. But when most of your funding goes toward accomplishing your mission, there's not always enough left over for your technology needs. That's where TechSoup comes in. We connect nonprofits, charities, and libraries to:
Learning Resources: Free technology planning and learning resources geared specifically to nonprofits and libraries, and written for all levels of technical expertise.
Community: Nonprofit news, informational blogs, and free webinars and discussion where you can ask questions and get advice.
Donated Technology: Over 450 donated and discounted products and services from more than 90 donor partners.

Before purchasing a payment processing tool, however, you'll want to make sure that it supports the operating system of the phone or tablet you plan on using for transactions.     
“Not only do customers prefer the speed and convenience of credit cards, but they also tend to buy more product when using credit cards instead of cash or checks,”
Mobile Payment Processing Tools can be used for:
Bake sales
Auctions
Concerts
Other away-from-the-office fundraising events
