TechSoup connects nonprofit organizations around the world to the technology, resources, and guidance they need to achieve their missions. These nonprofit organizations are at the frontlines of addressing the world’s most pressing problems, yet many of them are woefully under-resourced in an increasingly digital world. Each year, we connect nonprofit organizations with billions of dollars in value of donated and discounted technology.

Culture is our medicine. Since 1963 we have served more than 5,835 residential American Indian clients recovering from substance abuse. With the majority of Natives living in or near cities, the time is now to define bold and equitable solutions that address our systemic erasure and the profound inequities that are the result of it. As a response to the COVID-19 Pandemic and the growing disparities experienced by our people in the San Francisco Bay Area, Friendship House is leading a coalition of Native-led nonprofits to build The Village SF: A six-floor building and program expansion initiative that meets the health, wellness, cultural and spiritual needs of the over 9,000 American Indians in San Francisco and beyond.
