Nonprofit Training Program

The Nonprofit Training Program offers the staffs of local nonprofit organizations the technology training they need to better serve their client populations. Through the program, staff members receive Adobe software training for only a small administrative fee.

The program began as a grassroots employee volunteer program to support our local nonprofit agencies. Over the years, it has been formalized and expanded to serve nonprofit organizations in San Francisco, in the Silicon Valley area of California, and the Puget Sound area of Washington.

Course Eligibility

Staff members for local nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) classification are eligible to participate in the Nonprofit Training Program. Those interested in training should already have general computer skills, including a general working knowledge of their operating system, as well as know how to open, print, save, and close files.

Adobe's programs do not provide funding or other support to private foundations, individuals, political organizations, religious organizations, or organizations demonstrating discriminatory practices.

Course Offerings

Adobe works with nonprofit staff to identify and offer the courses that will most effectively enhance the organization's technology. The training will focus on the products that will have the greatest impact in increasing efficiency and promoting the organization, so that nonprofits can more successfully assist their service constituents.
