Small nonprofits are often the lifeblood of their communities, providing essential services on very limited budgets with only a few paid team members. Investing in technology can be difficult when time and money are short, but it's important to equip your team with robust tools in order to work towards your mission securely and efficiently.
Here are 10 fantastic tools and services offered by TechSoup that may be perfect for your small nonprofit.

Mobile Beacon offers mobile hotspots to nonprofits to connect computers or mobile devices to the Internet from any location within the Mobile Beacon coverage area.
Avast CloudCare Antivirus
Avast CloudCare Antivirus protects against all forms of malware and other cyberthreats. Small organizations, and nonprofits specifically, can be seen as easy targets for cyberattacks, and therefore it's important to take cybersecurity seriously. This cloud-based service protects networked laptops, desktops, and servers against viruses, spyware, and other online threats. It also allows administrators to monitor and manage server status and resource usage.
Adobe Acrobat Pro
Adobe Acrobat Pro DC allows your organization to dynamically create, edit, and share PDF files. This is an essential function for small nonprofits that work with consent forms, invoices, volunteer intake forms, or any other documents that need to be safe, shareable, and signable. With this one-year membership, you can transform documents, papers, and more into secure, handy PDFs using Adobe's industry-leading software.
Adobe Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements Bundle
It's essential for organizations looking to share information and attract donors to create eye-catching media. With the Adobe Photoshop Elements 2022 and Premiere Elements 2022 Bundle, you can design and edit digital images, clean and edit original and archival video, and more, all using Adobe's award-winning software.
NortonLifeLock
Protecting your organization's data should be a top priority, which is why TechSoup partners with NortonLifeLock to offer Norton Small Business and Norton 360 Deluxe, both available as donations through TechSoup. These tools protect your devices against all the latest online threats, and a recent update to the donation program allows you to cover up to 100 devices. This helps you to prevent data loss and cyberattacks, with Norton 360 also featuring a VPN, dark web monitoring, and other great features.
