StRUT The Students Recycling Used Technology (StRUT) program gives schools reusable equipment that students must evaluate, sort, repair and refurbish so it can be distributed to and used by schools in need.

The Wireless Foundation The Wireless Foundation initiates and oversees philanthropic programs that utilize wireless technology to help American communities. The Wireless Foundation’s CALL TO PROTECT® program collects used wireless phones to benefit victims of domestic violence.

CALL TO PROTECT proceeds have also helped anti-domestic violence agencies expand national prevention and awareness programs.

eBay Giving Works offers another way to make a charitable contribution by selling your used computers, cell phones and consumer electronics. Through eBay Giving Works, when you list an item on eBay, you can donate part or all of the final sale price to the nonprofit of your choice. Your listing will be marked with special features and information about your donation commitment, giving buyers additional confidence and incentive to purchase.

Donating through eBay Giving Works involves selling on eBay, so you may want to take advantage of some of the selling tools on eBay’s Selling Zones.
