No link - we just called them one year for First Night (maybe two or three years ago) and asked if they would donate something for a contest we were running. They ended up sending upwards of $3000 of software and hardware (home stuff - mice, keyboards, Encarta, etc) that we gave away as prizes in an essay contest. The marketing manager for the following years lost gumption and (a little annoyingly) never called them again but I don't blame MS for that. ;^) For what it's worth Allaire/Macromedia have always been really open about non-profits as well. We got something like three CF standard and several CFStudio licenses for another 501c3 I worked with. First Night is a pretty big organization, but the other one was teeny-tiny (two employees and a room).
