Description
1) Objective
Cisco donates their own technology to qualifying nonprofit organizations to help them realize significant gains in productivity, security, scalability, and cost efficiency. The program enables partners to make innovative use of networking and communications technology to create a measurable impact. The Cisco Technology Grant Program focuses on the same social investment areas as the cash grants: climate impact and regeneration; Cisco Crisis Response (which includes shelter, water, food, and disaster relief); economic empowerment; and education.
Cisco offers two primary pathways for technology grants. For larger, more complex requests, use the customized process managed directly by Cisco. For smaller, more routine requests, use the simpler process managed by their partner TechSoup:
- Application Path 1: TGP Donations Managed by Cisco – To inquire about a larger or more complex TGP grant request from Cisco, use the TGP contact form to send them a message.
- Application Path 2: TGP Donations Managed by TechSoup – Since 2003, Cisco has partnered with TechSoup to provide smaller and more routine TGP donations in select countries (namely, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden, UK, and US).
2) Eligibility
Only registered non-profit (NPO) or non-governmental (NGO) organisations can apply.
3) Location
Actions can take place in various countries worldwide.
4) Budget
The maximum request amount for first-time grant recipients is $100,000 (Global US list price).
5) Application
Applications can be submitted all year round.
