GROW YOUR TECHNOLOGY BUSINESS

While supporting thousands of charity organisations

Connecting Up’s purpose is to help our fellow not-for-profits leverage the digital world to positively impact their communities. The digital world is ever expanding beyond IT software and hardware, digital marketing, and fundraising to new and innovative service delivery and measuring impact.

Connecting Up’s services are available in Australia, New Zealand, and throughout the South Pacific. In addition, Connecting Up also helps to develop relationships with business, community and government sectors for the development of the not-for-profit sector. Our community programs focus on digital inclusion. We use technology to improve the lives of vulnerable people, driving social inclusion and creating stronger communities. We believe no-one should be left behind in today’s digital world. As the local partner of the US-based TechSoup network in 190 countries and growing, Connecting Up manages technology donation programs of companies such as Microsoft, Cisco, Adobe, Symantec and many more to qualified not-for-profit organisations in Australia and New Zealand (under the TechSoup New Zealand banner).

Connecting Up works with more than 60 technology companies and distributors in Australia and New Zealand.

Our partners demonstrate corporate social responsibility by supporting charities with what they do best. In doing so their businesses benefit from an exclusive connection to new markets in the 600,000 organisation-strong not for profit sector.

A Connecting Up endorsement is like the Heart Foundation “tick of approval” to the large cohort of not-for-profit leaders and financial decision makers we serve.

Connecting Up is the single trusted technology voice in the charity sector with a membership base of over 30,000 Australian and New Zealand not-for-profits and charities.

We work closely with our member organisations to save them thousands in IT costs and build their capabilities with training and information. Our organisations come in all sizes; from categories including health and wellbeing; disability services; education and training; aged care; arts and culture; social justice; environment and animal welfare; sport and community.

UNRIVALLED ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITIES WITH THE NOT-FOR-PROFIT MARKET

We are one of the most trusted voices in the not-for-profit sector when it comes to technology products and services.

Our member base of more than 30,000 Australian and New Zealand not-for-profits rely on us to supply them with best-in-market prices on computers, software, and technology services. They look to us as a source of authority on how to utilise tech solutions to increase their impact. And they come to us for training and information if their skills are lacking.

If you want to expand your customer base and build trust in the not-for-profit/charitable sector, we offer a way to cut through the barriers of distrust created by unethical technology vendors and suppliers who have taken advantage of the lack of knowledge in the NFP sector.

This trust unlocks the not-for-profit and charitable sector for your business and as we work with you to build a mutually beneficial relationship with our members, you will see significant returns.

Best of all, you’ll be directing your business’s social responsibility to improve tech capabilities for thousands of not-for-profits and the communities they serve.
