Software
Hardware isn't particularly useful by itself. In order to write letters, organize your contact information, or develop a fundraising strategy, you'll need the right software. With thousands of packages available, finding the right applications to fit your needs (and technology budget) can be a difficult task. TechSoup's Software section aims to make that task easier with articles about software specific to nonprofits.
