Elevating Nonprofit Impact with Enterprise-Grade Networking
Cisco isn’t just a leading provider of networking hardware—it's a trusted partner in connecting people, securing data, and enabling digital transformation. From routers and switches to security appliances and cloud-managed solutions, Cisco equips nonprofits with the infrastructure they need to amplify their impact.
Why Cisco Matters for Nonprofits
1. Cloud-Based Simplicity with Cisco Meraki
Cisco Meraki revolutionizes the way nonprofits manage networks. Its cloud-based dashboard enables remote deployment, oversight, and security management—ideal for organizations operating across multiple locations or hybrid setups.
Zero-touch deployment streamlines rollouts—plug in new devices and they auto-configure from the cloud.
Centralized management gives real-time visibility across devices, firmware updates, and security settings.
Enterprise-grade security includes built-in firewalls, auto VPN, threat detection, and Cisco Umbrella integration.
2. Exclusive Discounts and Donations via TechSoup
Accessing Cisco hardware is more affordable for nonprofits than many realize. Through Cisco & Meraki donation and discount programs—often facilitated via TechSoup—eligible organizations can secure top-tier networking equipment at significantly reduced costs.
Donations are available for nonprofits focused on disadvantaged populations or environmental causes, with only an administrative fee required.
Discount pricing applies when donation eligibility doesn’t apply, ensuring broader access.
3. Massive Savings via Meraki Discount Partners
Through partners like Meraki4Nonprofit or Telecom4Good, nonprofits can gain 50% or more off Cisco Meraki equipment and licensing. These programs offer customized support—from needs assessment and quotes to remote setup and post-implementation management.
Serviceable Perks for Operations
Cisco’s nonprofit-friendly approach brings advantages far beyond cost savings:
Scalable, future-ready infrastructure — grow your network as your mission grows, without major hassles.
Enhanced reliability and connectivity — enjoy consistent, high-performance networks for remote staff, donors, and volunteers.
