A partnership for digital inclusion
You don’t buy computers.
You fund their second life.
Partner with us to turn your funding into restored devices, and those devices into opportunity for the people you serve.
The why
Two problems. One honest fix.
Across Australia, people who can’t afford a device miss out on work, study and connection. At the same time, businesses scrap working computers by the thousand. Both are fixable, and each one fixes the other.
Too many people are offline
A job application, a school assignment, a telehealth appointment, a message to family. All of it now assumes you have a device. For people doing it tough, that assumption is a wall.
Too much good tech is binned
Businesses retire working laptops and desktops every day, shipping them offshore for profit or sending them to landfill. The hardware your community needs already exists.
How it works
Fund the work, and the devices follow.
You fund the work that brings donated devices back to life. We do it, and restored devices flow to your community.
Fund the capability
You commit a funding pool. It powers the work: collecting, wiping, restoring and delivering donated technology.
Choose what your community needs
Laptops, desktops, tablets, phones. You select from our catalogue and draw against your pool as you go.
We bring them back to life
We certified-wipe every drive, then test and set up each device with the software your program needs, to a standard you can rely on.
Devices reach your people
We deliver them ready to use and owned by you, at no separate charge. The work you funded ends up in the right hands.
The honest part
You fund the restoration. The devices come with it.
Your contribution funds the capability to collect, wipe, restore and deliver donated technology. Those devices reach your community at no separate charge.
It’s cost recovery, never profit, and never more than what it costs to bring a device back. Every dollar goes into the work, and the work goes to your community.
Partnerships are agreed at Techie’s discretion, in writing, where they advance our charitable purpose.
contribution = the cost of the second life
Why partners stay
Everything a refurb operation gives you, without running one.
Certified data destruction
We wipe every drive before anything else happens, with a certificate on request. Clean slate, every time.
Built for your program
Your spec, your operating system, set up for the people who’ll use it, including our no-cost Linux build.
You don’t run a workshop
No technicians, no benches, no overheads. We are your refurbishment team. You stay focused on the people you’re here for.
Local and circular
Devices stay in Australia and out of landfill. Each one is an impact story you can take to your own funders.
Pay as the work happens
Fund in tranches that track the work, so your money moves with the work instead of sitting idle in stock.
Impact you can report
A clear summary of what your funding achieved, ready to drop into your acquittals and grant reports.
The pool, in plain terms
Simple to run, easy to budget.
Fund a pool, draw devices as they’re restored, and top up when you’re ready. You control the stream, and the spend.
Fund a pool
One amount, or top it up in tranches as you go.
Request devices
Choose classes and quantities from the catalogue.
We restore & deliver
Each device draws a cost-recovery amount from your pool.
Top up when ready
Keep the stream running, or pause any time.
Let’s begin
Give technology a second life, together.
Tell us who you serve and what they need. We’ll shape a funded stream that fits your program and your budget, and start bringing devices back to life.
