A shared vision between Jeannette Baalbergen a teacher for people with disabilities and potter Iain Crichton to establish a place where people of all abilities could celebrate their creativity and be empowered to become valued members of their own communities saw the establishment of the Panacea Arts Trust and then the Spark Studio in early 2000. “Thanks to Microsoft we are able to further develop our visual arts education programmes for people with disabilities and I now have access to the programmes I need to ensure that Spark Studio can meet its administrative needs.”

The NGO Working Group, in conjunction with the Ministry of Health, organises Health and Disability Sector NGO forums. These Forums are an opportunity for engagement between the Ministry and the health and disability groups in the not-for-profit sector (NGOs) which come together to work on issues of importance to the wider health and disability sector. The forums are also an opportunity for health and disability sector organisations to share experiences and build understanding among themselves.  The outcome of these forums guides the agenda for the NGO Working Group action on behalf of the sector.

We are excited to share Microsoft's announcement that Libraries are now eligible for NFP Microsoft Cloud licensing.   Libraries have always been eligible for donations for their public-access computer needs through the Microsoft nonprofit program at TechSoup New Zealand. For staff needs, however, libraries needed to get Microsoft academic offers for cloud solutions. There was also a brief period in January 2022 when all offers moved to educational requests.  We know this has become a bit confusing. We heard your feedback — that the academic licensing was not always the best fit for library needs — so we advocated on your behalf in partnership with Microsoft. As of 17 October 2022, libraries and museums can get all their needs through Microsoft's nonprofit program at TechSoup New Zealand. With this change, Microsoft can better serve the entire library and museum sector.
