In order to participate in TechSoup Samoa programs and services, an organization must be validated by TechSoup as an organization operating on a nonprofit basis for the public benefit.
In order to successfully complete the validation review in Samoa, an organization must be:
- Organizations must be charitable trusts and charitable societies registered with the Registrar of Incorporated Societies pursuant to the Charitable Trusts Act 1965; incorporated societies registered with the Registrar of Incorporated Societies pursuant to the Incorporated Societies Ordinance 1952, as amended, and operating on a nonprofit basis for the public benefit; or other organizations created by special legislation and operating on a nonprofit basis for the public benefit.
In order for TechSoup to validate your organization, you will need to provide sufficient evidence that your organization holds the above status. This may include a certificate of registration or incorporation, inclusion in an official government registry or database, and/or a copy of your organization’s governing documents.
To initiate the validation review process, the organization should register on this website and provide all requested information. A designated TechSoup representative will review the provided details and determine if the registered organization meets the requirements established in the localized definition.
Please note that validated organizations are also subject to any additional eligibility criteria required by specific programs or service offerings being applied for.
