TECHNOLOGY FOR FAMILIES IN NEED
Narrowing the digital divide, one recycled computer at a time
TechFIN is a recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
Our Mission
TechFIN aspires to help narrow the digital divide by addressing a major hurdle to computer hardware ownership: its cost. By collecting used PC-based laptops and desktop computers, in bulk, from corporations, we are able to revitalize these machines and distribute them to low-income households at no cost to them. Our solution is sustainable, scalable, and cost-effective.
How We Do It
1.
TechFIN sources used, but unwanted computers from generous corporate donors.
2.
The working machines are picked up, in bulk, and delivered to our storage facility. There, the machines are cleaned, tested, and loaded with software by our IT staff, then set aside for distribution.
3.
TechFIN partners with non-profit organizations that already work closely with low-income families. These nonprofit organizations then identify and nominate appropriate recipients.
