TechSoup has two new and exciting updates to Adobe donations that affect libraries and (c)(3) friends of libraries:
First, the regular Adobe donation program through TechSoup has just opened up their eligibility to include 501(c)(3) friends of libraries. The change is subtle on the surface and none of the language on the Adobe restrictions and eligibility info has changed, however, if you work for or with a 501(c)(3) friend of a library, you are now (likely) eligible to request the newest, hottest Adobe donated products through TechSoup.
Second, TechSoup has a limited-stock, limited-time-only special donation program with Adobe. The products available are largely for Mac users and they are still brand new products, however, they are not the latest version.
These products are available to an even wider array of organizations and include 501(c)(3) public libraries and libraries listed in the IMLS database. So, even if you weren't eligible for the regular Adobe donation program, you may find that you can request products from the Adobe Special Donation program. The special donation program will only be available for a few more weeks so check it out soon if you're looking to get some donated Adobe products!
