Corel Corporation Launches Innovative Business and Graphics Software Solution for the Nonprofit Industry

Corel Corporation today announced an innovative software solution for the nonprofit industry that fulfills a range of business and graphics requirements at one affordable price. With the new Corel solution, nonprofit organizations can access all critical office applications including word processing, reporting and spreadsheets, presentations, email, as well as graphics tools to design collateral and marketing materials. Licenses start as low as $99 US for the full solution.
Nonprofit organizations are under an increasing amount of pressure to “do more with less.” These organizations require high quality, reliable, easy-to-use software that lets them run their offices more efficiently and create compelling promotional materials that attract potential donors and volunteers. With Corel’s complete solution, nonprofit organizations can reduce their costs by more than 60 percent than if they had purchased a variety of comparable products on an individual basis such as Adobe Acrobat, Adobe PhotoShop, Adobe Illustrator and Microsoft Office. In addition, with the purchase of maintenance, users receive five free priority technical support incidents*, two-year upgrade protection and a free online training seminar which reduces additional costs for budget-conscious nonprofit organizations.
Corel’s nonprofit solution includes a complete suite of award-winning office automation, graphics and digital imaging software applications:
- WordPerfect® – word processing application used by more than 20 million people

Corel’s flexible licensing provides nonprofit organizations with one of the lowest total cost of ownership ratios in the packaged software industry, according to Corel Channel Sales Director Fiaaz Walji. The full nonprofit suite starts at $99.00 US per license. For customers who want to license individual products, WordPerfect Office starts at $45.00 US per license and CorelDRAW Graphics Suite starts at $57.00 US per license.
“Corel is well-positioned to serve the nonprofit industry which includes over 1.8 million organizations throughout the United States including public charities and private foundations,” said Walji. “The majority of nonprofits, including Legal Aid societies, religious organizations, charities, libraries and museums, require high quality yet affordable and easy-to-use software that does not require costly IT support or maintenance.”
