Microsoft has a giving programme which donates software to charities. There have been some recent changes and eligible organisations can access software from a third party that Microsoft has teamed up with called the Charity Technology Trust. It’s really easy if you’re a registered charity as your status can be verified through the charity number. You just pay a small admin fee and you can get Windows XP Pro, Office 2003 and Windows Small Business Server 2003 R2 all with Software Assurance. Also, through this organisation you can get CISCO networking equipment as well!
