Deals for Non-Profits?

[Blazer06]

Does anybody know of any computer manufactuers that have deals for non-profit, youth helping organizations. Looking to purchase about 16 systems (need to be identical) all with flat panels.

Call Dell. I'm not sure they have a special deal for NFPs but they can offer a volume discount on that many systems. I would think you'd want to look at Optiplex systems, which are geared toward business applications.

On the software side of the deal, I strongly recommend contacting Microsoft's Community Affairs program. MS donated $264M in cash and software in 2003.

Via the software side We are looking at www.techsoup.com

Example, Windows XP Pro for $8.00

Im planning on calling both dell and IBM

IBM is a good possibility. I also suggest contacting Hewlett-Packard. HP/Compaq used to have a strong presence in the non-profit sector, especially among educational programs.

Another strong possibility is Apple Computer. Apple used to give substantial discounts to non-profit organizations with legitimate needs.
