In partnership with Cisco Systems and TechSoup, CTT said it could now provide Cisco networking equipment to charities with an annual turnover of less than £10 million, with a maximum donation value of £10,000 per organisation. The donation is subject to a fee of 8% of the retail value of the donation, which CTT says covers administration costs.

The donation programme is open to international development charities working on projects that address basic human needs, access to education and healthcare provision. For more information contact techsoup@ctt.org and to view the Cisco catalogue of products visit www.ctt.org/cisco_shop

CTT has said that applications will be dealt with on a first come first served basis.
