The last 12 months have seen technology become more crucial to the not-for-profit sector than ever before.
As many organisations pivoted to entirely online operations due to COVID-19, many were forced to re-evaluate their status quo and adopt new ways of doing things across the board.
At Connecting Up, we equip changemakers with transformative technology solutions and skills they need to further their mission, and we have been front and centre helping not-for-profits transform their operations and learn new systems during the pandemic.
Whether your organisation is looking for affordable technology or new ways to leverage tech, there are many reasons to check out what Connecting can offer.
Here are four of the big reasons to join Connecting Up if you are not yet a member — and it's free to sign up.
Donated and Discounted Technology
At Connecting Up, we are known for filling the gap between not-for-profits and technology by offering product donations and discounts from top technology providers. Whether you're looking for hardware or software, we're regularly updating our offerings and adding new products. You can view the entire Connecting Up catalogue here.
Digital Learning Program
Through the provision of technology, training and other capability building services, we are proud to be a major contributor to the improvement of the lives of vulnerable people, driving social inclusion and creating stronger communities. This work is driven by our belief that no one should be left behind in today’s digital world.
Connecting Up members have access to discounted Webinars, online courses, and workshops, designed specifically for the needs of people working in not-for-profits, with many free to attend. You can view all upcoming Digital Learning Programs here.

Connecting Up is a Community
Our membership of over 35,000 not for profits rely on us to supply them with the best-in-market prices on IT hardware, software, and training services. They look to us as a source of authority on IT solutions to increase their social impact.
Our annual not-for-profit technology conference is one of the most highly anticipated events through the sector each year. The conference offers a fantastic opportunity to connect and network with colleagues and peers and hear from several world-class speakers and keynotes. We also celebrate the best in technology each year at the Australian Not-for-Profit Technology Awards, which has been a huge success in years previous.
Our program is free to join and free to access. We encourage all Australian not-for-profit organisations to register and start taking advantage of the many benefits our membership can offer.
