Software Donation Program

Adobe is pleased to support primary and secondary schools (U.S. K-12) and qualified nonprofit organizations/NGOs with donations of our latest version software. Adobe’s Software Donation Program allows schools and nonprofits/NGOs to request a maximum of four individually titled software products or one bundled software package per year.

Donations are made to North American and international organizations.

Selection and notification process for all programs

Because Adobe has a limited amount of software to donate, priority is given to those nonprofit organizations, schools, and programs that are most closely aligned with Adobe's corporate giving focus areas.

Applications are processed by our distribution partners, Gifts In Kind International and TechSoup. All applicants will be notified directly by our distribution partners to confirm whether they have been selected to receive a donation within one month of submitting an application. Adobe offices are unable to process software donation applications.

Adobe reserves the right to the interpretation, application, and administration of the Software Donation Program.
