Are you involved with a Nonprofit organisation in Australia? Did you know that some of the worlds largest tech companies such as Microsoft and Adobe donate many thousands of dollars worth of their products to organisations just like yours every year?

If you’re not already taking advantage of this free or heavily discounted technology, then my question to you is – WHY NOT!
