Donating Equipment
Donated equipment helps open up a new world of opportunity for disabled and disadvantaged adults and children to experience access to technology and information that were previously limited. Your computer donations make it possible for each student who graduates from one of the Academy’s programs to have his/her own free take-home computer (loaded with up-to-date Microsoft Operating System and Application Software). There are no adequate words to describe each student’s excitement and enthusiasm when given his/her computer system. It’s very important for you to know how much joy these donations bring to our students and their families.
Donating unused working computers makes sense in several ways. First, it allows older computers to begin a new lease on life in the homes of needy Rochester residents. Second, by donating working computers to us it avoids any disposal charges encountered when scrapping old equipment. Third, by giving old computer equipment to us for recycling and redeployment it protects the environment by delaying the eventual trip to the landfill. Please only bring us working Pentium III computers or above so you don’t pass your disposal problem along to us.
The Academy is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 charitable organization; and, as such, all donations whether in cash or in-kind can be utilized for tax purposes. We certainly would be very pleased to provide necessary documentation if you wish to participate in that opportunity. Please note that the Academy cannot assign a monetary value for the equipment you donate. We will validate your donation however; it is your responsibility to assign a monetary value. If you are interested in donating equipment please contact us.
