The company has committed to donate $7.5 million in software in the first year of the program\u2019s operation. \u201cThe Technology Impact program will ensure that nonprofits have access to the best design software needed to accomplish their important work,\u201d said John Cary, executive director of the Autodesk Foundation. \u201cOur goal is to equip at least 500 nonprofit organizations with our software in the first year of operation. The work by these organizations represents the full spectrum of design with social impact\u2014some are building hospitals, housing, and schools around the world, while others are producing low-cost, life-saving healthcare devices.\u201d Autodesk has long worked to share its software with entities imagining, designing, and creating a better world\u2014ranging from nonprofits and schools to thousands of clean tech companies around the world. Through this new program, Autodesk will offer qualifying nonprofits two licenses of its professional design software suites: Autodesk Product Design Suite Premium, Autodesk Building Design Suite Premium, Autodesk Infrastructure Design Suite Premium, and Autodesk Entertainment Creation Suite Ultimate.

Alan Ricks, co-founder and chief operating officer of the organization explains, \u201cWith access to advanced 3D design tools from Autodesk, we\u2019ve been able to communicate with local builders and craftspeople, as well as community members, about the building process and our designs. It helps ensure that a structure is \u2018of the place\u2019 where it is built. We don&#8217;t think any place is resource-poor, we just have to uncover the resources that can create the most positive impact.\u201d <strong>About Autodesk<\/strong> Autodesk helps people imagine, design and create a better world. Everyone\u2014from design professionals, engineers and architects to digital artists, students and hobbyists\u2014uses Autodesk software to unlock their creativity and solve important challenges.
