Is your nonprofit in need of technology to help meet your mission? Free Geek’s Hardware Grants program connects qualifying nonprofits with free and low-cost refurbished technology. They serve over 150 different organizations every year. 

Free Geek makes in-kind grants of refurbished electronic equipment. The computer hardware that they grant is used and comes to them via donations made by individuals and organizations in the community. It is then tested and built by staff and volunteers.

They primarily grant complete PC computers which come installed with Linux Mint as an operating system. These systems are excellent for typical office tasks, such as word processing and browsing the web. 

Approved grant recipients are eligible for a 20% discount in The Free Geek Store.

Priority will be given to student-directed projects that provide materials that will make the project easy to replicate, including lesson plans, protocols, videos, adaptations and examples of student work.

It's interesting to know that there will be reduced costs and offset any other costs as well because of nonprofit discounts. I can imagine how helpful that would be for a child-based nonprofit organization so that they can use their funds well. They can even help more kids if they can use discounts when paying for hotels, tickets, gas, and other fees they have to cover.
