Information about TechSoup
We want to share with Habitat for Humanity Affiliates a resource many of your fellow affiliates have already taken advantage of.
TechSoup.org offers low-cost software and resources to nonprofit organizations through partnerships they have developed with various software companies. The program is open to all qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations. Software is available through TechSoup at substantially discounted prices. Read more on how to join TechSoup.
Because Keystone requires that you have either the Microsoft Windows 7, Vista, or XP Professional operating system and either Microsoft Office 2010 or Office 2007 (you must have a version that includes Microsoft Access), TechSoup can help make acquiring software much more affordable to your affiliate if you should need to upgrade anything. You can read more about the requirements for Keystone on our Keystone Requirements page.
We offer the following overview of how to order software from TechSoup. MTD is not affiliated with TechSoup in any way, so please refer to TechSoup.org and their technical support resources for assistance.

Some orders by default are only for the purchases of licenses for that product. If you are ordering a software application for the first time, make sure you either get a downloadable version of the software or a software CD mailed to you when you order.
Note: As part of the signup process, each individual’s account at your affiliate who will place orders with TechSoup will need their account associated with your affiliate. This allows an affiliate to authorize multiple individuals to place orders. You may need to register your affiliate with TechSoup if it hasn’t been already. If you aren’t sure, look to see if your affiliate is listed when you try to associate your account with it.
