How It Works

1. Compudopt staff will arrange pick up of your donation from your site or receive it at our warehouse.*
   
   
2. Compudopt technical staff wipe all data bearing devices in accordance with the NIST 800-88 PURGE standard. 
   
   
3. Computers are cleaned, refurbished, and loaded with a Linux-based operating system called Ubuntu or Windows 10 depending on the needs of the community members.
   
   
4. Computers are then distributed to families without their own computer at home at our drive-thru operations. All computers are
   completely free to the families who receive them and include 2-years of free technical support. 
   
   
5. Corporations, organizations, or individuals donate computers and receive a tax receipt.

*If shipped, we will use a secure shipping company.

Benefits of Donating

Tax Deductions - All donations are tax-deductible. Note: the IRS code prohibits non-profit organizations from determining a fair market value for goods donated in-kind.

Volunteerism and Team Building – Partners can help us distribute the computers.

Great CSR and PR – Your donation is helping to close the digital divide and positively supports key focus areas including education, sustainability, and workforce skill development. Photos from our events are a great way to highlight your community support.

Environmental Impact – Reduce your carbon footprint by giving these tools a second life in the hands of children who need them.

*Compudopt takes your data security seriously. We wipe all computers up to a DoD standard using Kill Disk and industry standard data destruction process. Certificates of Erasure available on request.
