Leadership
TechSoup is made up of inspired people, many of whom have been on board since we were founded in 1987, as well as others who have joined along the way to help us reach our goal: to see the power of technology improve lives and increase the capacity of civil society. Our 200-plus staff is a mix of technologists, business professionals, and nonprofit experts, all visionaries who work collaboratively across the globe to help nonprofits and NGOs fully realize their missions.
