Tech Leaders Helping with Tech:

Help Us Provide 5,000 Laptops to Donate to Families Impacted by California Wildfires

Your donations—money or unused devices—will help families impacted by wildfires rebuild and stay connected.

The California fires have displaced families, destroyed personal belongings, and made it very challenging for many to file claims, apply for jobs, or resume online schooling. We want you to help us distribute 5,000 laptops/tablets at no cost to people in impacted areas like Pasadena/Altadena, the Pacific Palisades, and surrounding locations.

Data Security & Practices

Whether you’re an IT leader or individual donating your personal device, please follow industry practices for secure wiping and disposal.

Send us your laptops that have been securely wiped following your organization’s policies for secure data deletion. We will reimage the drive and install a new operating system.

Our laptop refurbishing process starts with sanitizing all devices with data storage at our NAID-certified facilities. We employ software that wipes data that meets data destruction standards in NIST SP 800-88, Guidelines for Media Sanitization.
