AyudaTec uses important strategies to make every dollar go a long way.

1. We recycle existing technologies to dramatically reduce our product development costs. Our first software program, Beginning Letters and Sounds, is built on IntelliTools technologies licensed from Cambium Learning, Inc. This relationship saves us hundreds of thousands of dollars in development costs.
2. We work with partners throughout Latin America to market and sell our software.
3. Unlike many other non-profit organizations, we develop and sell products, leading us towards sustainability. All of our products are fully owned by AyudaTec.
4. Unlike most for-profit software companies, we actively seek donated services for everything ranging from top-notch software engineering to high quality disk duplication.

AyudaTec is a project of the esteemed Tides Center in San Francisco, CA. Tides provides legal and fiscal governance to AyudaTec and over 200 other important non-profit projects that benefit society. 9% of your donation covers all Tides fees, and 91% of your donated dollars go to:

• Developing new products. It costs us about $30,000 to complete an entire software program (compared to close to $1,000,000 in traditional software publishing).
• Providing our software to underserved students. A donation of $50 will ensure that a center in Latin America receives a software package to load on one computer. Typically, this computer station can serve 10 students!
• Training people to effectively use our products to teach Spanish literacy. It costs us about $5,000 to stage a professional development event in Latin America.
