Admin Fees start

JourneyEd.com
One in the latest of new partnerships,
TechSoup is working with
JourneyEd.com to bring educational
discounts to the nonprofits we serve.
For the first time US nonprofits are
able to benefit from educational
savings. Some are over 80% off retail,
but others are much lower. Since
TechSoup does not maintain these
business relationships, we do not
control the available discounts.
We advise users to shop intelligently
and compare so they are benefitting
from the best savings possible.

kind products and donations that
nonprofits can use to either off set a
general operating budget (new file

project and more.
