Over the past year, TechSoup has been doing impact stories about nonprofits, churches and libraries doing great work with TechSoup’s product donations. Here are nine.

Braided River

Seattle-based nonprofit publishing company Braided River has used a TechSoup donation of Adobe software to astounding effect. It’s undertaken 16 conservation projects to date with just three staff people. Among the wild places Braided River has featured, millions of acres have been moved to a stronger level of protection. The organization’s project on Last Polar Bear reached 26.5 million people through national media outreach, including an appearance on “Good Morning America.”

Braided River’s director of development and communications, Lace Thornberg, told us, “We work really hard with a very little budget to have the highest impact possible. We wouldn’t be able do it without TechSoup donations. I asked some of my colleagues for some examples of how they use TechSoup donations. They said you want an example? You mean everything we do, every day?”
