In 1987, long before cloud computing and AI, a small group of technologists in the Bay Area saw how nonprofit organizations wanted to use technology to advance their missions, but lacked access, affordability, and the know-how. That’s when TechSoup was born, first as a matching service between “geeks” with technical expertise and social activists with big ideas but little IT support, explains Rebecca Masisak, Executive Chair at TechSoup Global. Four decades later, TechSoup has evolved into a global marketplace serving 1.4 million nonprofits in over 200 countries, distributing more than $15 billion in technology resources and training to organizations of every size and cause. It also supports almost *all* of the nonprofits in Miami-Dade County.
