DonorTec relies on its partners to build a technology product service that truly serves the nonprofit community. Every contribution helps. Some partners are able to donate their products, while others lower their fees significantly. We thank all of our partners for their generous contributions.

Please note that the Cisco donation program has a limited budget for donations that are given in a single quarter and financial year. Cisco retains the right to restrict the ability to place orders for Cisco donations at any time. Each applicant for a donation of Cisco products will be served on a 1st come - 1st served basis until the budget limit is met for that period. Whenever possible, outstanding requests to eligible organizations will be fulfilled in the next quarter. Orders that have been placed and paid for will take precedence over an order for Cisco products that remains un-paid.
Orders may be partially fulfilled: Due to the nature of the network design, product availability, and fiscal year schedules, all product donations are subject to change or delay without notice. Cisco reserves the right to substitute functionally equivalent products — either new or refurbished — for any request or order.
Note that all donation recipients will still receive five years of Cisco SMARTnet product service and support at no additional cost (Linksys products not included). For more details, see the SMARTnet FAQ.

Flickr is a Web site for photo storage, sharing, and organisation, designed to make photo management an easy, natural, and collaborative process. Flickr stores over two billion photos taken by members all over the world. Communication tools let users get comments, notes, and tags on their photos, post them to any blog, share them, and more. Members can also share videos up to 90 seconds long. See Flickr Program FAQ’s for much more information.
Because Flickr is a Yahoo! company, each donation recipient must have a Yahoo! account, either an existing one or a new one. A new Yahoo! account is easily obtainable via the Flickr home page with the Create Your Account button. This Yahoo! account is used to sign in to Flickr and is subject to the Yahoo! Terms of Use.
Uses for Outreach and Community Building: Flickr is a new way for organisations to tell their story. With a Flickr account, individuals can showcase and chronicle their organisation's work through their own photography. For example, by creating a group photo pool and encouraging discussions, Flickr members can build awareness of an organisation's work. Members can also provide a link to their organisation's Web site in their Flickr profiles. Conversely, the organisation's Web site can stream Flickr photos.
Uses Within Organisations: Flickr members can store all their photographs of their organisation's work in one place if they have the legal right to do so. Account holders can upload photos to Flickr from anywhere in the world. The photos can be organised into sets and collections, and they can be tagged for easy searching. Another tool that organisations can use internally is a Flickr group. In a private group, only group members and those who have been invited can view the group page. Groups can also be completely public or public by invitation only.
Examples: Here are two examples of nonprofits that have used Flickr successfully:
Permissions: Individuals must post only their own images or the images of someone who has given them permission to post them, which often includes giving appropriate credit to the original photographer. Photos from publications or downloaded from elsewhere on the Web are not allowed.
Flickr members can give several different levels of permission for others to use their work including All Rights Reserved and Creative Commons licenses.
If desired, photos do not have to be public. They can be visible only to the member or visible to other members designated as friends or family. Photos can also be shared with nonmembers via a "guest pass." The member can also designate who is allowed to comment on the photos or tag them.

In line with our Corporate Community Focus, Sentry Networks is proud to be a service provider to the entire non-profit sector in Australia via the DonorTec program.
Sentry Networks is offering an exclusive fee for a ‘fully managed network for a fixed monthly fee with unlimited support’ service to eligible organisations in any location with internet access.
We know from experience with current non-profit sector clients our service reduces the IT costs that burden non-profit organisations while improving the productivity of their IT network. This allows employees assisting those in need to spend more time doing just that. Assist those in need!
Eligible organisations can vary in size from one employee to large multi-branch organisations with hundreds of employees spread across the country. Our team has knowledge about the latest technology available that can provide the best solutions for your organisation today.
Once a non-profit organisation qualifies for the Sentry Networks ‘fully managed network for a fixed monthly fee with unlimited support’ package they are contacted by one of our team. Then the process continues to determine the network meets the minimum operating specifications standards to be cared for by our network experts. During this process Sentry Networks gathers a variety of information and conducts a complimentary IT Network Check-up that provides an effective report on the health of a network. From this information gathering and the network report recommendations are made on how the network can be cared for.
Sentry Networks will then make a no obligation offer to care for the network for a fixed monthly fee for a minimum one year based on a three year agreement. The fixed monthly fee is determined by the number of computer users or mahcines in the organisation and is 50% of the normal retail for Sentry Networks services.
The fixed monthly fee is determined by the number of computer users and the number of servers, pc’s and/or laptops used in the organisation. The fixed monthly fee allows you to set your IT budget with the peace of mind it will never blow out. We guarantee the only time your fixed monthly fee will change is when your employee base changes either with staff coming or staff going. Confirmation of the fixed monthly fee for individual networks is available on application from Sentry Networks once DonorTec eligibility is confirmed and costs dependent on recommendations made once the complimentary IT Network Health Check-up is complete.
If your organisations is eligible (e.g. A non profit organisation) DonorTec will then notify Sentry Networks and a representative will contact you within seven working days (excluding NSW Public Holidays).
