Computer and Other ICT Donations

These resources will help you research, prepare for, solicit and manage donations of computers and other ICT equipment, including hardware and software.


Please read the directions stated on each web site CAREFULLY regarding donation guidelines and requirements. Organizations that arrange for ICT donations have strict guidelines that must be followed in order to receive equipment. KEMPSTER GROUP is not affiliated with any of the resources listed below, and cannot answer your questions regarding these organizations nor their procedures. If you have questions about donations, please use the contact information on the individual web sites listed below.

Most organizations will arrange for computer donations only if the requesting organization offers a firm commitment to pay shipping expenses and duty costs involved and to secure any necessary permissions regarding shipping and equipment traveling across country borders. Many organizations charge a service fee for coordinating donations.

Also note that most computer donations come with no software of any kind (including an operating system).
