If your organization is in need of technology such as laptops, monitors or desktop computers please fill out this donation request form. If we find a corporate donor looking to donate to an organization like yours, we will forward your information to them for consideration.

If you have a corporate donor willing to donate devices to your organization, congratulations! The next step is to fill out this form and our sales team will be in touch to provide an estimate on the service costs to process your devices into a like new state. If you do not have a budget for these costs, consider approaching your corporate donor and requesting that they cover the cost of the service fees. Oftentimes, corporate donated devices may not be in good working order and it is paramount to refurbish them securely and sustainably before use.

Donating used technology to community organizations and non-profits is a common practice of many companies and major corporations in the United States. In fact, Sage processes hundreds of devices per year bound for a donation recipient.

As you can imagine the demand for donated devices is high, however, the amount of those asking may be low depending on the company or corporation you are reaching out to. So, asking is worth a shot! We recommend writing a compelling email or letter to the Chief Information Officer or a company with over 5,000 employees (these size companies are more likely to have donation capacity). If the CIO is unresponsive you can approach Board members or other members of the C-Suite.
Describe your organization’s mission and why you think the corporation’s missions or values aligns with your own. For example, if you teach financial literacy to young people in an urban neighborhood community center, a national bank may want to sponsor your effort with a donation as the two missions align.

No. If you are looking for donated devices, Sage does not actually donate devices, we process donated devices. This means we connect our corporate clients to non-profits, we are the lynchpin within the donation process but not the donating party.

There are a few options. First, you could launch a fundraising effort within your community or approach your non-profits board members for donations to fund the effort. Another option would be to ask Sage to sell a portion of the donated devices. The revenue from the sales of some devices could potentially cover the cost of refurbishing devices for donation.
