From Ascribe Newsfeed: San Francisco technology assistance provider TechSoup (www.techsoup.org) announced it has received a grant from United Way of the Bay Area (http://www.uwba.org/), which it will use to help Bay Area nonprofits strengthen their technology infrastructure. The grant supports TechSoup's Healthy and Secure Computing Program (HSC) (www.techsoup.org/hsc), an initiative that equips small- to medium-sized nonprofits with the resources they need to build and maintain a secure technology infrastructure. "With the United Way grant, we are able to give them a solid understanding of the basic tasks required to keep systems running, reliable, and safe from viruses and other threats." Thanks to the UWBA grant, participating nonprofits will receive education about Healthy and Secure Computing best practices via free in-person training and an online webinar, expedited access to TechSoup's donated technology products through a dedicated account manager, and a voucher to apply toward hardware and software from TechSoup Stock. "United Way and TechSoup have a long history of collaborating to help nonprofits harness technology as a tool to better achieve their missions," said Allison Sparks, program officer at United Way of the Bay Area. Through its Web sites, events, and community-building initiatives, TechSoup also helps companies and foundations optimize their philanthropic impact. About 350,000 unique monthly visitors request product donations from major technology companies; read articles helping them make better technology decisions; and share their challenges and solutions with a community of peers.
