TechSoup South Africa Admin Fees Will Increase on Selected Programs and Services
In a changing technology landscape, we are making a few adjustments to better support our long-term ability to serve our community.
Starting in July 2021, you will notice that we have increased administrative (admin) fees for selected discount and donation programmes, courses, and services at TechSoup South Africa. We periodically review and adjust admin fees to reflect the fair market value of products and our own costs to manage these programmes.
We are a nonprofit ourselves, and the admin fees that we charge to access our offers support the overall value that we can continually bring to our nonprofit community. This helps us provide as many resources as possible to organisations like yours, and in the more than 200 countries and territories that our programmes serve. We will strive to make sure that these offers will still be made at the lowest cost available to you and will remain at a fraction of their retail value.
Why We Have Admin Fees
Admin fees help cover our operating costs to curate and manage TechSoup South Africa donation and discount programmes and course offerings. Also, admin fees enable us to provide complimentary resources and education, such as webinars, blog posts, forums, product comparisons, resource hubs, and more to civil society organisations around the world.
Further, these fees are used to develop new programmes, such as services to support installation and adoption, and data gathering to help advocate for the sector as best as we can.
TechSoup South Africa remains dedicated to the civil society organisations across the planet that work to make the world a more equitable place. We believe that these admin fees will continue to support us in providing you the resources that you need.
