Frequently Asked Questions
Become an RCI Donor
If your nonprofit organization needs more computers but your budget is tight — TechSoup Stock has a solution.
Our pioneering Refurbished Computer Initiative gives nonprofits nationwide a chance to get high-quality refurbished computer systems at a discount. The first nationwide refurbishing program geared strictly to nonprofits, RCI also provides an environmentally friendly alternative to used equipment disposal.
About the Refurbished Computers
TechSoup Stock offers only high-quality computers formerly used by large corporations. These are machines that are typically phased out after two to three years of use and are in very good condition. Each one is loaded with a new operating system and comes with a 90-day swap warranty.

How Does RCI Work?
Our donor partners donate their used computers, which are then refurbished by our refurbisher partners. The refurbisher partners also acquire computers from their own sources. TechSoup Stock distributes all of these refurbished computers to qualified nonprofits for a low administrative fee.
Which Organizations Are Eligible to Participate?
To participate in the program, a nonprofit organization must meet the requirements specified in the Internal Revenue Code section 501(c)(3) and must operate in the United States. U.S. public libraries must either have valid 501(c)(3) nonprofit status or be listed in the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) database. For a complete list of requirements, see the RCI program guidelines and restrictions.
Program Goals
With the RCI program, we aim to increase the supply of donated and refurbished computer systems to U.S. nonprofit organizations. By maximizing the life cycles of these systems, TechSoup Stock and its donor and refurbisher partners hope to significantly decrease the disposal of still-useful computers while acting to reduce harmful waste. In the future, we will provide incentives to nonprofits to trade in refurbished RCI equipment that has reached the end of its useful life cycle, or has become obsolete, for a further discount on newer refurbished machines.
Program Highlights
Participants may choose from a range of donated Windows desktop and notebook computers and monitors.
Organizations may request up to 10 computers and 10 monitors each fiscal year (July 1 – June 30).
Multiple affiliate or branch locations of an organization may receive separate donations in a single TechSoup fiscal year, provided that each location is listed on its parent organization's 501(c)(3) Letter of Determination.
How Organizations Have Benefited
Here are some examples of how nonprofit organizations have made use of computers received through the RCI program.
One Economy's Digital Connector program brings digital technology into low-income homes and communities.
The Early Childhood Mental Health Program offers mental health services to children from birth to six years old and their families.
Housing Hope provides housing and related services for low-income families.
