Building resilience and driving impact for civil society organizations worldwide

Chief Executive Officer
Dear friends, partners, and members of civil society,
Fiscal year 2025 was a year of intense pressure and necessary transformation for the global civil society sector. As nonprofit organizations, we navigated a landscape defined by political instability, shifting public policy, volatile funding environments, and escalating threats to our data and operations.
In the face of these challenges, one question animated our entire organization: How do we support civil society organizations — particularly the smallest and least resourced — to access necessary resources and adopt and optimize technology in ways that are both affordable and sustainable?
We believe the answer lies in the power of the community to come together and work in collaboration. The hard problems of our time — from climate change to food security — are interconnected and demand massive coordination in response. Our work is therefore centered on building the robust, resilient digital backbone the entire sector needs.
Through programs like the Digital Activism Program, we reached over 8,200 people directly. In turn, these people reached another 7.6 million, equipping civil society organizations to counter disinformation and strengthen their digital resilience. We also invested in producing a series of landscape briefs, providing actionable intelligence to funders and partners.
Our NGOsource program continued to serve as indispensable infrastructure for cross-border philanthropy, achieving a 17.4 percent growth in equivalency determinations (EDs) and saving grantmakers an estimated $25 million in operational costs through its repository of nearly 12,000 EDs globally.
We also launched the AI for Social Change upskilling initiative for 10,000 organizations across 10 countries, positioning the sector to leverage this emerging technology responsibly.
It is through our Marketplace and essential validation services that we realize the broadest part of our mission. In fiscal year 2025 alone, we connected 305,000 civil society organizations globally with over 554,000 hardware and software licenses. This effort delivered a total value of US $2.6 billion to the sector, demonstrating the critical role our platform and enabling partnerships play in ensuring that technology is both accessible and affordable worldwide.
Like so many organizations we serve, TechSoup was impacted by the global shifts and challenges facing civil society. We made a critical decision to undergo a strategic transformation of our operating model to ensure long-term financial sustainability. This involved structural changes, including shifting to a direct distribution model where possible, and prioritizing support that allows organizations to manage and adopt technology to be as resilient as possible.
I am pleased to report that these changes are beginning to pay off. At the close of fiscal year 2025, we achieved a surplus, reporting a net income of $3,896,188. This positive result is a testament to the hard work of our staff and partners, and it allows us to build the capacity to continue our change journey, ensuring we can sustain our mission to serve the sector well into the future.
In a complex world, we remain committed to standing on the side of inclusion and civil society, globally. We look forward to continuing to work in concert, running toward the hard problems on behalf of our missions and our communities.
In partnership,
Marnie Webb
