Deadline June 30th

June
30th is the end of TechSoup's fiscal year, and as a result, many of the
product donation programs they manage are effectively beginning and
ending around this date. Why this is important to you -- you may find you
are eligible for a product donation through June 30th and then again
eligible in the new fiscal year beginning July 1st, again. Or you may
find you didn't realize that there were technology product donations
available that you could have taken advantage of in fiscal year 2006.
Check the TechSoup Web site to see what product donations your
organization is still eligible to receive before June 30th.
