The Charity Technology Trust (CTT) in partnership with the not-for-profit technology capacity building organisation TechSoup have brought about the Charity Technology Exchange (CTX) programme.

Through the programme, eligible UK-based charities are able to choose from over 170 donated or discounted technology products from Partners such as Microsoft, Symantec and Cisco. The products include operating system software and server software, security software and hardware products such as switches, routers, wireless equipment and firewalls.

Charities are required to pay a small administrative fee to cover the costs of the programme. Whilst the administrative fees vary, charities will still make savings of between 92-96% on typical retail prices.

Well worth investigating if it is for you http://www.ctxchange.org/about_ctx
