Our Mission

Assisting children and families in need by providing equal access to technology.

In our current times, computers have become an essential part of our lives. With the fast pace of technological advancement, challenges arise that may prevent a child or family from keeping up with computer technology.

We at Filiorum receive computer and technology donations from corporations and local businesses. After which we refurbish and prepare the donations for redistribution schools, other non-profits, and families in need.

Filiorum is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. EIN#: 83-1996794

Process

We partner with schools and organizations who support the advancement of children’s education. We then identify if these organizations have a need for updated or new technology

Donors may have outdated systems for their needs, but are still viable for use by schools and organizations who support our children’s educational advancements. While new systems are ideal, Filiorum accepts all forms of donations.

Systems received from donors are cleaned and refurbished. Any existing hard drive data is securely destroyed and not reused once the systems are donated. All donations deemed outdated or damaged beyond use are properly sent to an e-waste facility.

Refurbished and cleaned systems are donated to schools, organizations, and individuals who support the education of children.

Educate

Based on a 2018 study by the Pew Research Center

25% of children from lower income families do not have access to a home computer.

Many of these children are unable to complete their homework due to the lack of a reliable computer or internet connection.

Follow us on our social media pages to stay informed on our projects as well as updated research with regards to the use of technology and its impact on our children.

Refurbish

Many times a computer which is many years old just needs a little cleaning or minimal repair. Even a simple upgrade can sometimes bring a computer back to a working condition.

Consider donating your older computers to our cause. We also work with other organizations to assist you with your e-waste and securely wiping the data from your hard drive.

Donation

We are looking for corporate partners and community donations in receiving and refurbishing old computers.

Many children and families are without the means to the necessary technology needed to keep up with the educational demands required to prepare them for future job opportunities.

If you have older computers or electronics which you would generously like to gift to a child in need, please contact Emix Dial at emix@filiorum.org.
