Helps narrow the digital divide by addressing a major hurdle to computer hardware ownership: its cost. TechFin collects used PC-based laptops and desktop computers, in bulk, from corporations, refurbishes these devices, and partners with other nonprofits to distribute the equipment to low-income families at no cost to them. They have provided thousands of refurbished computers to low-income households across New York City, equipping them with the tools needed to succeed in today’s digital age.
