Through our partnership with the Philadelphia Digital Divide Network, we work with programs that build youth skills and refurbish donations of used computers for distribution to community organizations.

How to make a donation:
  1. If your company or institution is interested in donating computer systems or parts, Philadelphia Teaming for Technology can be contacted by e-mail at pddn@uwsepa.org, or by phone at 215.227.0600. For large donations, we request that you include an inventory list.
  2. For large quantities of equipment, T4T will make the necessary transportation arrangements. Please indicate the best times for pick up.
  3. A donation receipt and letter of thanks will be provided for all donations. Donations may be tax deductible.
  4. Computers are refurbished through the Philadelphia Digital Divide Network and then placed in schools, low-income homes, and community agencies according to local program needs.

Because many of the nonprofit organizations receiving computers have no prior experience, and in order to ensure that the computers donated are useful for at least a few years, we cannot accept any computer equipment that is older than the configurations listed below. Some older systems are obsolete and are better recycled.
