Flickr (a Yahoo! Company) is a Web site for photo storage, sharing, and organization, making photo management an easy, natural, and collaborative process. Flickr has photos taken all over the world by pros and amateurs. With Flickr, members can get comments, notes, and tags on their photos, post them to any blog, share them, and more.

Flickr hopes to lend a hand to not-for-profit organizations and causes who can use Flickr to share their stories and images with the worldwide Flickr community, and to encourage everyone to participate in improving the world.

Flickr has partnered with TechSoup, a US-based non-profit technology resource, to donate 10,000 1-year Flickr pro accounts for good causes. TechSoup and its international partners will distribute these to qualifying non-profit organizations.
