FORM 990-EZ PART III, LINE 28 - STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTSTECHFIN OFFERS ONE SINGULAR PROGRAM: PROVIDING LOWER INCOME HOUSEHOLDS WITH USED BUT STILL WORKING COMPUTERS. CORPORATE DONORS WILL DONATE COMPUTERS TO TECHFIN. IN MOST CASES THEY HAVE MACHINES DELIVERD TO OUR FACILITY ALTHOUGH WE MAY BE REQUIRED TO PICK UP MACHINES. DEPENDING ON THE SIZE AND LOCATION OF THE DONATION, WE MAY HIRE A MOVING COMPANY, LEVERAGE UPS/FEDEX OR RENT A TRUCK TO PICK UP MACHINES OURSELVES. FROM THERE, WE STORE THE COMPUTERS, REPURPOSE THEM, CLEAN THE HARDDRIVES AND RELOAD WITH MOSTLY FREE SOFTWARE. WE THEN DELIVER THE REPURPOSED MACHINES TO LOW INCOME FAMILIES, USUALLY TO A CHILD VIA OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THEIR CHARTER SCHOOL OR AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM.
