The Computers for Schools+ program is managed within Saskatchewan by Saskatchewan Technology Renewal Inc, a registered non-profit charitable organization. Funding of the program is provided by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada. Our shop and warehouse space as well as utilities/communications costs and some logistics handling are provided to us by SaskTel. We encourage corporate supporters and their employees to get involved in this aspect of the program. Donations of warehouse storage space, refurbishment workshop locations, and additional transportation assistance are needed to keep CFS+ going and growing!
Getting the word out about CFS+ is essential to our overall success. A donation of advertising time or space to promote Computers for Schools+ is one more step in building brand recognition and community support for an important need and a (really) good cause. Be a CFS+ advocate within your organization or community. We would be pleased to provide you with promotion materials to pass on to your colleagues, neighbors, and friends.
Donated equipment in good working order minimizes the time needed for refurbishment and gets to our clients faster.
Our target donations are currently quad core i5 and Macintosh quad core i5 level.
* Being a largely volunteer based program, it is sometimes a challenge for us to handle the timely delivery and refurbishment of all the computers donated to CFS+. We appeal to corporate donors to assist Computers for Schools+ as much as possible by preparing and delivering their donated equipment directly to the nearest Computers for Schools+ Refurbishment Centre.
All donated hard drives and SSDs are thoroughly wiped and reformatted before a new operating system (if requested) is installed. We will provide certificates of data destruction if required.
