 Welcome to Compudopt

Your digital equity solution.

At Compudopt, we’re closing the digital divide. By forging meaningful partnerships and delivering community-informed best-in-class service, we are able to rapidly get free computers to kids and families who otherwise don't have access. 


Additionally, we provide workforce-aligned technology education programs, digital literacy classes and Internet connectivity solutions that empower youth and their communities. These programs and services make Compudopt the only nonprofit providing a full digital equity solution.


Compudopt. Equip. Connect. Inspire.

 What We Do

We recycle Donated Computers, refurbished them, and load them with cool tech software.


Then we give computers to selected families who need them through our Computer Giveaway.


But we don't stop there! We additionally help families find no or low cost Internet Solutions.


And we provide free Tech Education to youth and adults, inciting curiosities around learning that can lead to brighter futures!
