Review for TechSoup, San Francisco, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

This organization was an absolute godsend to our organization. As a small community museum we operate on a very tight, very small budget and rely on donations for most of our operating costs. When our only computer system crashed we were frantic. I was able to restore most of the information but microsoft office pro which ran our entire collection data base. There was no way we could afford the software ourselves but a member suggested techsoup. The application process was easy and the support staff helped all the way. Since enrolling we have been able to purchase software to do projects that we never could have afforded on our own and we are so greatful for this organization!

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

My work as I am the curator, IT tech, project manager, archivist and many other things. Without the software made available from techsoup we would have lost our digital collection reports of about 2200 items.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Not do a thing they are wondeful.

Role:  Volunteer & I manage our collections and do projects for the museum center.

Review for Grassroots.org, Inc., New York, NY, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Grassroots was a life preserver to our sinking website. Our organization had been hosting the web site on a members account but when the member switched to highspeed the website account was deleted. As a non-profit with our average board member age at 70+ we were just about ready to give up on a website. Then a member from the United States suggested I try Grassroots and they were so professional and so helpfull. Now our website is back online and I can manange it myself easily and they have offered other great services which our organization is starting to make use of.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

Helping other non-profits meet the needs and standards of todays world in the internet marketing and promotion. Grassroots is helping to bring organizations the help they need through other organizations in areas where costs are usually very restrictive.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

Easy to access, easy programs to use and just an all around great service.
