But just like any enterprise, academic institutions and not-for-profit organizations need solutions to help drive them toward their goals.  4D recognizes the need for education, philanthropy, and – in general – doing good for the world around us.  

That’s why we offer special pricing for students, administrators, and departments in the education field, and organizations in the non-profit/non-governmental sector.  We’ll work with you to find a solution – and a lower price – tailored to your organization’s needs.

Whether you want to use 4D to teach or learn about software development and engineering, or use it to implement solutions to run day-to-day business, we’re ready to help you help others.
