Over 11,000 Computers Valued at over $1 Million Donated Through the Hardware Inventory Program
The Aidmatrix Hardware Inventory Program has successfully placed over 11,000 computers and hardware into the hands of worthy nonprofits across the country, through partnerships with corporate sponsors, since it began in late 2006. These are computers that would have been wasted otherwise. The total estimated value of the donated equipment just recently passed the $1 million mark. The computers are being used in local communities nationally as well as internationally; for example, Mercy Corps has received 275 computers through the program and has taken many to El Salvador and Ecuador to build computer labs in schools.
