Mission

PROVIDING TECHNOLOGY ACCESS AND EDUCATION TO UNDERPRIVILIEGED CHILDREN

Activities or mission (Part I)

PROVIDING TECHNOLOGY ACCESS AND EDUCATION TO UNDERSERVED YOUTH

  • COMPUTER ADOPTION - WE HOST COMMUNITY-BASED EVENTS TO DISTRIBUTE RECENTLY RETIRED CORPORATE COMPUTERS THAT HAVE BEEN RECONDITIONED. THE COMPUTER ADOPTION PROGRAM IS HIGHLY EFFICIENT, ALLOWING US TO DISTRIBUTE HUNDREDS OF DEVICES IN JUST A FEW HOURS. DISTRIBUTION EVENTS ARE HELD IN PARTNERSHIP WITH COMMUNITY-BASED ORGANIZATIONS, BRINGING DEVICES TO THE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ARE MOST IN NEED AND ELIMINATING BARRIERS OF TIME AND TRANSPORTATION. THE COMPUTERS ARE FREE TO RECIPIENTS. TO QUALIFY FOR A COMPUTER, A FAMILY MUST NOT HAVE ACCESS TO A WORKING COMPUTER AT HOME AND MUST HAVE A CHILD IN PRE-K-12 EDUCATION (UP TO AGE 26). FAMILIES ARE THEN SELECTED TO RECEIVE A COMPUTER THROUGH A LOTTERY SYSTEM. COMPUTERS COME WITH TWO YEARS OF FREE TECH SUPPORT.COMPUDOPT HAS BEEN IN THE DEVICE ACCESS AND DIGITAL INCLUSION SECTOR FOR OVER 16 YEARS WITH AN EVIDENCE-BASED RECORD OF SUCCESSFULLY DEPLOYING TENS OF THOUSANDS OF COMPUTERS TO UNDER-RESOURCED COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. TO SATISFY THE DEMAND FOR DEVICES, COMPUDOPT HAS DEVELOPED THE INTERNAL CAPACITY TO COLLECT, REFURBISH, AND REDISTRIBUTE SURPLUS AND RETIRED COMPUTERS FROM SEVERAL PHYSICAL SITES IN THE U.S.

    Expenses $13,022,958

  • CONNECTIVITY - CONNECTIVITY IS A CRITICAL COMPONENT TO SOLVING THE DIGITAL DIVIDE. COMPUDOPT OFFERS A SUSTAINABLE AND LONG-TERM CONNECTIVITY SOLUTION FOR COMMUNITIES. THIS TECHNOLOGY INFRASTRUCTURE ALLOWS HOUSEHOLDS THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT FOR FREE TO 50MBS DOWNLOAD SPEED ENABLING EVERY INDIVIDUAL FAMILY MEMBER TO ACCESS DISTANCE LEARNING, VIRTUAL ENRICHMENT, TELEHEALTH, APPLY FOR JOBS, UPSKILL, AND ACCESS THE WEALTH OF OTHER SERVICES AVAILABLE ONLY ONLINE. OUR GOAL IS TO HELP THE MOST UNDER-CONNECTED GET QUALITY SERVICE. WE KNOW THAT IT'S MORE THAN JUST AFFORDABILITY THAT CAN HOLD FAMILIES BACK FROM ACCESS; IT'S ABOUT TRUST, RELEVANCE, AND SUSTAINABILITY. WE'VE SEEN THAT SIMPLY TAKING THE TIME TO REALLY LISTEN TO OUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND PROVIDING HANDS-ON CASE MANAGEMENT SUBSTANTIALLY INCREASES THEIR CONFIDENCE AND ABILITY TO GET CONNECTED.

    Expenses $4,643,935

  • TECH EDUCATION - WE TEACH HANDS-ON CURRICULUM-BASED PROGRAMS TO 1ST-12TH GRADE STUDENTS ON SCHOOL CAMPUSES AND AT COMMUNITY SITES, BUILDING THEIR CONFIDENCE IN USING NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND HELPING THEM DEVELOP SKILLS ALIGNED WITH HIGH-DEMAND CAREERS. EACH COHORT SERVES UP TO 15 STUDENTS AND THEY ATTEND ONE TO TWO SESSIONS PER WEEK OVER 10-12 WEEKS OR CAMP SESSIONS OVER SCHOOL BREAKS FOR 20-25 HOURS. EACH STUDENT WHO GRADUATES FROM OUR 3RD-12TH GRADE PROGRAMS RECEIVES A FREE COMPUTER.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.

What this page reflects
