This month, I’d like to announce a special one-time offer just for readers of our New Product Alert: to help you conduct and analyze surveys with an advanced survey solution, Vovici has generously donated a limited number of copies of its Perseus SurveySolutions 7 Professional software — read on for more details.

If you’re interested in improving your organization’s communications, I suggest checking out ReadyTalk’s special discounted audio conferencing rates for eligible nonprofits.

ReadyTalk’s audio and Web conferencing services allow organizations to meet and collaborate on the phone and on the Web. We also have a new product donation to help your organization keep in touch with your constituents using customer relationship management: Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

Our featured product this month is Norton SystemWorks Standard Edition 10.0 (the 2007 version), which combines virus protection and system maintenance tools to prevent and repair common PC problems.

============================================

SURVEYSOLUTIONS LIMITED TIME OFFER

============================================

June 30th ends our fiscal year, and as a result, many of the product donation programs we manage will effectively restart on July 1. Why this is important to you? You may find you are still eligible to request a product donation from some programs until June 30th and then eligible again in the new fiscal year beginning July 1st. Hence this reminder encouraging you to check our web site’s “shelves” for valuable technology product donations you can take advantage of before June 30. (Please note that this deadline does *not* apply to the main Microsoft Software Donation Program on TechSoup.)

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/edLRaAn1dSyV/.

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

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.
