Make the Most of March! | TechSoup Canada

Is your organization’s end of fiscal year March 31st? To ensure that you can get your donations in time, our team has put together some useful tips to help you with the ordering process.

Why prepare? Products may go out of stock

Many nonprofits have fiscal years ending in March, so we typically experience a spike in product requests this month. To ensure your organization can obtain the tech products you need, we recommend placing orders early before digital products go out of stock.

Ordering Tips!

1. Update your account information

If you need to make big changes to your account - like your email, shipping address or main contact person, email us so we can update it for you.

[Insider Tip] Email is the fastest way to reach us (customerservice@techsoup.ca)

2. Retrieving your password

If you have forgotten your password, simply click on "Log in" on the top right hand side of the screen and select the "Forgot Your Password" link. Enter your email and click "Send new password". A one-time log in link will be sent to the email on your TechSoup Canada account and you will be able to create a new password.

3. Be careful with orders: there are no refunds

Most donated products are non-refundable and non-exchangeable once payment is complete - even in the case of a wrong order. So please be very careful when placing an order. Make sure you have the right version, language and product before you make a payment.

4. Be aware of Donor Program restrictions and guidelines

All of our donor programs have different restrictions to the eligibility of each organization as well as the number of licenses and frequency of ordering. Make sure you verify your organization and program qualification status (click on "My Account" after you log in) and find out how many licences you can request.

[Insider Tip] To see what is left of your Microsoft Donation allotment, visit "My Microsoft Donation Centre," found under "My Account" after you log in.

March Extended Hours

We understand the urgency for placing these orders by March 31st. In addition to our regular phone hours, we are extending phone hours on Tuesday, March 30th, and Wednesday, March 31st, from 10am to 5pm EST.
