The TechSoup South Africa Programme will be charging an administrative fee for each request processed. The fee is to cover the cost of administering the donation programme.

Whilst administrative fees vary, charities will still make savings of between 92-96% on typical retail prices.

Fees ensure that the TechSoup South Africa Programme can continue to offer donated products as efficiently as possible, at the lowest possible cost.
