Deadline: 30-Nov-22
Applications are now open for the InterConnection’s Non-Profit Grants Program.
Computer grants are awarded to organizations that deliver necessary and valuable services to underserved communities like technology training, health care, education, and job training, but need upgraded computers to better manage their organization and improve their capacity to deliver those valuable services.
InterConnection awards laptops and desktops pre-installed with Windows 10 and will have the following minimum specifications: Core i5 processor / 8 GB RAM / 128 GB SSD. InterConnection cannot guarantee they will be able to meet these requests, however, as what they are able to provide will depend on what they have in inventory at the time. You may request up to 5 computers in total. Grant recipients are responsible for the shipping & handling costs.
