Why Donate?

Cutting down electronic waste helps protect the environment by reducing harmful landfill pollution and saving natural resources. It can save money and create jobs in recycling and waste management. Also, it encourages people to buy and use things more responsibly, helping to keep our planet healthy for the future.

A key motivation for donating to charity is to assist those in need. Additionally, choosing to donate your computer equipment to a charitable organization can provide you with a significant tax benefit.

Individuals - For individuals, the tax deduction for donating technology is equal to the fair market value, which is the retail used value in the current market. The donation becomes tax-deductible in the year the equipment is received by our organization. Furthermore, shipping costs involved in the donation are also tax-deductible, as per the relevant rules and regulations.

Corporate - Under IRS code, property donations to charitable organizations like Hyperware Foundation are tax-deductible according to specific rules. For corporate donors, deductions are generally limited to the property's tax basis (consult a tax advisor for exceptions). The donation receipt from Hyperware Foundation will note the year of equipment receipt, and warehousing and shipping costs are also tax-deductible.

Donating a computer to Hyperware Foundation not only extends the life of technology but also empowers underserved communities by providing access to essential digital resources, fostering education, and bridging the digital divide. Your contribution directly enhances opportunities, skills, and connectivity, making a tangible and lasting impact on the community's technological empowerment.
