Overview
Mission
The mission is to increase technology access and literacy for individuals, families and non-profit organizations.
What it reported doing in 2025
Get IT - The provision of computers and computer training to low income individuals and non-profit organizations at below market prices. Provide training and support to achieve important personal, educational and employment goals.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 85% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 94% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
