Networking technology, security, infrastructure grants
Cisco Technology Grant Program
Cisco's official Technology Grant Program page says Cisco donates networking technology to qualifying nonprofit organizations to help them improve productivity, security, scalability, and cost efficiency.
Who it is best for
Charities and nonprofit technology teams evaluating networking, communications, security, resilient connectivity, disaster response, education, climate resilience, or economic empowerment infrastructure where Cisco hardware, software, or TechSoup access could be relevant.
Eligibility notes
Qualifying nonprofits should review Cisco's current programme guide, social-impact focus areas, grant-giving policies, and the two application pathways before planning network or security infrastructure around this route.
Source-checked notes
- Cisco's page says the Technology Grant Program awards Cisco's best-in-class technology to qualifying nonprofits.
- The page says Cisco offers two primary technology grant pathways: a customized process managed directly by Cisco for larger or more complex requests, and a simpler TechSoup-managed process for smaller or more routine requests.
- Cisco says TechSoup-managed donations are available in select countries including the UK, and that organizations should review the programme guide before choosing a pathway.
