We reached our federal filing fee goal. Our fundraising goal is an ongoing, "as much as possible" target to launch and scale a free, in-person build-to-own PC workshop where participants learn to assemble a computer. Note that to start, a temporary device may be awarded.
Progress combines reserve dollars we have not spent with new donations directed to the build-to-own workshop and other active priorities.
Help us raise funds to launch the first free build-to-own PC workshop with parts, tools, venue support, and take-home computers for participants. Note: to start, a temporary device may be awarded.
$250 raised (Ongoing target)
Unrestricted funds currently available: $250
This workshop is designed to remove one of the biggest barriers to learning tech: access to a reliable computer. Funding now helps us create a hands-on entry point where participants can build skills and leave with a PC of their own.
Donations are allocated to the active needs listed above and summarized in the Transparency hub. We prioritize workshop launch costs, take-home computer hardware, and the support resources needed to run the event well.
Our Transparency hub tracks donations, ledger entries, and program milestones in real time. We also publish our IRS determination letter and filings for public review.
