Hardware Donations

Give Your Old Tech a Second Life

Capable technology that would otherwise sit unused may be useful for development, testing, research, education, or future community technology initiatives. If you have equipment you're no longer using, FDS would rather put it to work than see it collect dust.

FDS // What FDS Can Use

Examples of useful equipment

This is not an exhaustive list — if it computes, stores, moves data, or helps people build and learn, it's worth asking about.

FDS // How It Works
