Computer Donations and Re-use

DiverseIT receives computers as donations, scrubs the hard-drives, completes repairs as needed, and gives them away for free to people with disabilities and nonprofits in the community. DiverseIT is addressing the digital divide in New Mexico. Donating and re-using computers is just one way we do that.

If you have a disability and need a computer, if you are a nonprofit that needs computers, or if you are a business who can donate computers, the first step is to complete the linked forms below and answer the questions. 

This work also provides job skills training for interns who learn how to refurbish and repair computer systems.  Thank you for working with us!

 

Person with Disability Gets a Computer

 Your Donations Help us to be a Community Resource

DiverseIT is able to provide computers to people with disabilities, seniors, and local nonprofit organizations because of the caring individuals and businesses that donate computers. Thanks to your support, DiverseIT has given away thousands of computers helping people with disabilities and seniors communicate with the larger world, pursue more education, or return to work.

We have also helped over 100 New Mexico nonprofits get the computers they need to set up offices, networks, or computer learning centers. Your generosity is multiplied throughout our community when you give to DiverseIT.
