	Varying....

	Generally, the larger the company, the more well established the
corporate giving program.

	Microsoft has a fuzzy giving program; they have given out copies of
Word and Works.

	Aldus gives out Persuasion, PageMaker and FreeHand through the
Gifts In Kind program, a United Way program based in Washington DC; handling
fees are $25 (which gave rise to the slightly ridiculous procedure of a Seattle
non-profit writing and waiting for a DC group to ship software from a
Seattle software company.....)

	Helpful?
