TechSoup recently announced new software that is available to public libraries through the Intuit Financial Literacy Training program. This could be a great opportunity for libraries that are looking to partner with community agencies that focus on life skills development, such as financial literacy. Libraries can choose 25 or 100-license packs of software - it is software-only, no manuals or boxes come with the product, although a PDF version of the user manual is available. The software can be redistributed to students. There is an administrative fee with every order of software and an annual limit on ordering. In addition, there are program restrictions that the library must meet to receive the donation. I have included a short description of the program from the TechSoup website: http://www.techsoup.org/stock/category.asp?catalog%5Fname=TechSoupMain&categ ory%5Fname=IntuitTrain&Page=1&Cat1=Intuit&CatCount=1&visit=1 Intuit Financial Literacy Training Program The Intuit Financial Literacy Training Program offers products for organizations that provide training in personal financial literacy or small business development. Quicken and QuickBooks small business accounting software is available in bundles of 25 or 100. Qualifying organizations may request as many bundles of available stock as necessary to support their training programs. Products may be provided to students for their own use. For more details on eligibility requirements, see the Intuit Financial Literacy Training Program restrictions. http://www.techsoup.org/stock/restrictions.asp#intuit_flt Intuit Program Restrictions for Financial Literacy Training Products -This donation is available only to U.S. nonprofits with 501(c)(3) designation and to U.S. public libraries.
