Cisco Donation Program | Enclude Tech Donations

Quantity: Organizations may request any number of products for a total of up to USD $4,800 in administrative fees per fiscal year (July 1 to June 30). You can place as many requests as needed each year, as long as the total administrative fees for all of your requests do not exceed the maximum.
Budget: Organizations with annual operating budgets of $20 million or less are eligible to apply for products in this program.
Nonprofits only:
- Products in this program are available only to qualifying nonprofits and charities.
- All Cisco requests are subject to a secondary eligibility review to verify that the organization meets Cisco's philanthropy guidelines. In particular, an organization must be able to show that its focus is on serving economically disadvantaged people. If an organization does not meet these guidelines, Cisco reserves the right to deny a donation request at any time. TechSoup will not process payments for denied requests and will return submitted checks to the organization.
