I just got off the phone with them because the prices mentioned were less than a 3rd of what our church pays. So, they explained that their goods are literally donated from Microsoft (for example) and that they are not a reseller. For a non-profit to get those products, they must have a secular function or role in the community. So for a church, it would only be possible if they had a soup kitchen, food bank, or other such activity that provides to "anyone" who qualifies that is not simply just a church. I'm not sure how well that can be quantified, as some churches I imagine are involved in several areas that don't tie them down to a single building or location in town, which also benefit "anyone" and which are not done to proselytize.
I only mention this because the OP was asking for a church client. Techsoup sent me a letter with a few questions that are simple enough. Answer them honestly and they will tell you whether or not your org qualifies. -- Mike Gill > -----Original Message----- > From: Thomas Gonzalez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2008 1:05 PM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: RE: Office apps for non-profit > > The best service or provider to receive Non-Profit software is from: > > www.techsoup.org > > > That's what we use here at Girl Scouts, excellent program. ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
