Grant Details:

The MAR Program is a partnership between Microsoft and TechSoup. Its primary goal is to increase the number of donated and low-cost computers available to eligible charitable organisations, academic users and other Microsoft-specially approved recipients. The programme also benefits the environment by keeping serviceable computers out of landfills.The MAR programme authorises eligible refurbishers to install Windows operating systems and Microsoft Works 7.0 software on donated computers. Through the programme, Microsoft provides authorised refurbishers with Microsoft media, special certificates of authenticity (COAs), and Eligibile Recipient agreements. By reducing the cost refurbishers incur when refurbishing donated computers, the MAR programme makes the equipment more affordable for eligible refurbishers to restore and eligible recipients to obtain. The MAR Web site facilitates the process by bringing together eligible refurbishers, computer donors, and eligible recipients.
