About this grant

Autodesk donates its industry software collections (Architecture, Engineering & Construction; Product Design & Manufacturing; Media & Entertainment) to nonprofits using design for environmental or social good, as one-year renewable subscriptions. Nonprofits with budgets under $10 million are routed to TechSoup; larger nonprofits submit an application that Autodesk reviews, and organizations that miss a criterion can request an exception.
