Our Mission
At Repurposeful, we firmly believe that nonprofits deserve access to cutting-edge technology. We understand the profound potential of technology to enable nonprofits in fulfilling their vital missions.
In today's fast-paced business world, technology infrastructure is continually upgraded, leaving a surplus of usable equipment. We strive to minimize electronic waste and give used technology a renewed purpose.
Disposing of outdated equipment can be a costly, time-consuming, and complex process. Through Repurposeful, businesses can seamlessly donate their used gear, reaping the benefits of tax deductions and avoiding disposal costs. Moreover, they can take comfort in knowing that their equipment will enjoy a second life within the nonprofit sector.
We serve as the bridge between forward-thinking businesses eager to contribute their technology and nonprofits in need of these resources. Beyond equipment donations, we provide comprehensive IT services to nonprofits, offering high-level advice, guidance, and platforms that empower them to achieve even greater impact in their endeavors.

Here, our team of technology experts meticulously erases all data from every computer we receive, adhering to the highest industrial and government protocols.
Prior to delivery to our partner nonprofits, we subject all equipment to rigorous testing to ensure its optimal functionality. Our commitment to excellence doesn't stop there.
