The purpose of the CUSSN Software Connection is to link users to human service freeware, shareware, demos, limited use software, online programs or application service providers (ASPs), or software that I feel has special relevance.  This list specializes in software that you can examine without talking to a vendor.  However, completing a form to request a download might put your name on a vendor salesperson's "to call" list.   Check the privacy policies before downloading.  If you experience unwanted calls from a vendor listed below, let me know and I will add that notation or remove them from the list.

Items with a * behind them are acceptable items for my class to review for their assignment. 

Other human services software listings are available, for example, the Software and technology Vendors Association (SATVA) and idealware.   CompuMentor offers consultation and discounts on popular software for nonprofits.  Items below are either available for downloading or a link to a downloadable site.  Contact Dick Schoech for making software available or for recommending a link.
