Computer Refurbishment

we collect donated laptops from corporations that have been "wiped" clean of private information; our lab technicians then install new operating systems and software on the laptops, and ensure proper working order before they are distributed. This year we opened up a new computer technology lab that expanded our overall capacity by 35%.

$685Kprogram expense
02

Workforce Development

we hire high school aged youth and train them to be lab technicians who perform the refurbishment of the laptops. Their training is ongoing and includes some degree of mentorship from our leaders. We also collaborate with other organizations that offer similar training to youth.

$150Kprogram expense
03

Computer Distribution

we work with schools to identify qualifying families who need laptops in their homes. We schedule distribuion events, usually at the schools, where families come to receive lapops (either free or sold at low price). This year we distributed 4,632 laptops, including 700 that were given to families in new-build affordable housing projects.

Names, privacy, and removal requests More

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
