Help us by Donating!
Computers for the Blind provides individuals with visual impairments access to technology. Your donations directly support that cause by helping us refurbish and ship the computers that open that door. We accept monetary donations, as well as donations of capable equipment and volunteers donating time at our center. Please see below for the different ways you can contribute.
Monetary Donations
A donation of only $200 fully supports an individual in need with a computer! Every monetary donation we receive goes directly to helping us refurbish computers. You can even check with your company to see if they match charity donations!
Volunteer your Time
Starting in January 2022, we will have new opportunities for internships and volunteering in our Refurbishing Center. We are looking for experienced individuals to help in many roles, including refurbishing computers, troubleshooting issues, warehouse inventory flow, and other tasks. We will provide training on our policies and procedures, and we also offer training on a variety of technology skills. We do require anyone interested to fill out an application and interview with us. If you would like to learn more, please go to our application page for up-to-date information.
