Deadline: 31-Jul-21
Applications are now open for the InterConnection’s Non-Profit Grants.
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 / 4 GB RAM / 250 GB HDD. 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.
Eligibility Criteria
The program open to all U.S. 501c3 nonprofit organizations. The applicant organization must be willing and able to cover shipping, packaging & handling fees associated with the donated computers.

Grant recipients must agree to use and responsibly dispose of all donated assets in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.
