The Power Up Project brilliantly transforms old technology into a lifeline for students who otherwise wouldn’t have access. By refurbishing laptops, tablets, and other devices, they not only reduce e‑waste but give underserved young people the tools to learn, connect, and succeed. Their work isn’t just charitable—it’s life‑changing.
5 Point Solutions
The laptop I received from the PowerUp Project has been an invaluable resource. It has allowed me to work more efficiently, access essential online tools, and pursue opportunities that were previously out of reach without a computer. Having reliable technology has not only improved my productivity but has made things a lot smoother and easier for completing tasks and staying on top of personal projects. Much appreciation for the PowerUp Project’s commitment to bridging the technology gap and empowering people like me with the essential technological tools it's made a real difference.
Individual Donation
Our nonprofit, Childhood Cancer Warriors, recently partnered with The Power Up Project to request two computers for families we support — and the entire experience was incredible. The process was simple, fast, and the computers arrived in perfect condition. They were exactly what the families needed, allowing the kids to surprise them on Christmas morning with the best gift — connection and opportunity. We’re so grateful for this amazing organization and the difference they’re making for families in need!
