You will need to upload at least one of these documents:

1) Institute of Museum and Library Services verification of funding. If you currently receive funding through a Basic or Enhancement grant, you may upload your Grant Award Letter.
2) Tribal Resolution. If you have an official tribal resolution establishing your library, upload it.
3) Authorization Letter from Tribal Administration. If you do not have either of the above, request an authorization letter from your tribal leadership. It can be as simple as this one paragraph statement: “This letter is to confirm that (INSERT NAME OF TRIBAL LIBRARY) is the authorized library entity for the (NAME OF TRIBE).”

Once TechSoup has established your eligibility, an account will be established, and you may commence receiving the benefits.

INTRODUCTORY WEBINAR: Please join ATALM and TechSoup staff for an informative webinar on Tuesday, March 21 at 3 p.m. Eastern. During the webinar, you will learn about the many offerings through TechSoup.

Donations from TechSoup have saved ATALM thousands of dollars over the years. From Microsoft to Adobe, we have been able to keep our software updated while freeing up funds to support the programs that benefit you.  We are thrilled that you now have this same opportunity.

I hope to see you on March 21! Let me know if you have questions.
