Why does this deserve a separate blog post? See TechSoup's note below - their fiscal year resets on July 1 and many of their technology product programs are tied to this calendar. If there are any products that your organization is eligible for but have yet to purchase or apply for, this would be a great time to do so! Then the slate is wiped clean on July 1. Details below.

Dear MyTechSoup Member,

I am excited to let you know about the end of TechSoup's fiscal year on June 30 - and the benefits for your nonprofit organization or public library. Learn more about this once-a-year event below, or visit http://ga0.org/ct/C7_zax71jEhA/.

==================================================
DON'T MISS OUR FISCAL YEAR END ON JUNE 30 ==================================================
Many of the donation programs at TechSoup Stock allow organizations to receive a fixed quantity of technology products between July 1st and June 30th of each year (TechSoup Stock's fiscal year). Then, on July 1st, organizations again become eligible to place orders for these products. Find out more at http://ga0.org/ct/C7_zax71jEhA/.

As June 30th approaches, I want to take this opportunity to encourage you to check our Web site to see what products your organization is still eligible to order this year. Instructions for checking your account status are at the end of this email.

Also included is a list of several interesting offerings you could be eligible for before June 30, 2007. NOTE: your organization may be eligible to order from multiple programs, and place more than one order per program, during our fiscal year. View the eligibility guidelines for individual programs
here: http://ga0.org/ct/1d_zax71jEh2/

I realize that as we add more donation programs, individual vendor eligibility rules may become confusing, so feel free to contact us via email at newproducts@techsoup.org or by phone at
1-800-659-3579 x700 if we can help clarify any of the program guidelines.

IMPORTANT: The Microsoft Software Donation Program (MSDP) and the Microsoft Canada I CAN program ARE NOT affected by the June 30th deadline.
