A New Approach to Product Philanthropy
"Nonprofits today are faced with significant funding challenges and
operating challenges. We have been working with thousands of organizations
to ensure that they have the ability to obtain technology product
donations and implement them successfully with minimum cost. The
intelligent use of technology is helping these organizations better
accomplish their missions by serving more of their target populations or
furthering their educational missions. We hear every day from nonprofits
in towns large and small across the United States and Canada, about how
their ability to easily obtain donated technology products has made a
difference in the most fundamental sense. These stories motivate us all to
help the sector achieve even more. To date, our donors have made over
$160M in technology product donations available to the sector through this
service at a fraction of their cost. These donations have been coupled
with over 70,000 pages of relevant Web content and the personal assistance
of our knowledgeable and experienced staff. We know that the sector will
take the funds that they were able to save on technology as well as the
technology improvements themselves to make a better tomorrow for us all."
