We Minimize Costs And Collaborate With

Similar Charities

Learn More About TLI
We only distribute laptops through our Charity Partners. Our partners are small have little funding from government or donations, few staff but lots and lots of clients needing help. Typically, they are selling second hand clothes and goods and running sausage sizzles and have volunteers on the front desk. At The Laptop Initiative we are keen to minimise our costs through the help of our wonderful volunteers and by collaborating with other charities.
Logistic Costs​
Our charity partners are around Australia so if we can’t deliver the laptops ourselves to our Charity Partners we have to use external suppliers. Getting laptops to Perth, Albury Wodonga or Adelaide is a logistics cost.
Thank You Donuts
Our other major cost is the box of thank you donuts we send to our Corporate Heroes to thank them in a small way for the time and effort in getting laptops ready. Small gift but they love the donuts!!!!

Frequently Asked

Questions​

What types of laptops are accepted for donation?
Laptops must be no more than 4 years old although high end brands may be slightly older, in good condition, sanitised, have webcam, charger and have a new hard disc installed or be wiped of all data and have an updated windows operating system.
We don’t repair or replace laptops once they are gifted. The laptops are no more than 4 years old, some even less, so they should be in good working order. The laptops are the responsibility of the charity or their clients.
The feedback that we have is that it takes about an hour for each laptop to be prepared and it may cost up to $50 to replace the hard drive or companies can use recommended aps to wipe data.

We can provide instructions for the wiping of data for your staff to use.

The Laptop Initiative has a strategic partnership with an e-waste specialist Zolo, they can pick up, securely transport and wipe data and provide ISSO Certification to comply with your company policies around data security.

Zolo is located in Sydney but is able to pick up laptops from around Australia.

A small percentage of laptops will be retained by Zolo to cover transportation and wiping costs, and the balance of devices will come to The Laptop Initiative for distribution to charities. Their website: https://www.zolo.com.au/about .

As soon as we have a planned donation from a Corporate Hero we contact our charities to work out who needs how many and where, and whose needs are more urgent.
We try to pick up and deliver in just a few days. This way we don’t need storage or warehouses, and the laptops go quickly to those who need them.

For more information or to arrange a donation, please email admin@thelaptopinitiative.com.au or fill in the donate laptops now form on this website.

Donate Your Corporate Laptops

There are a number of reasons companies become our corporate heroes – they directly contribute to bridging the digital divide while actively demonstrating their environmental commitment by reducing digital waste. In addition involving employees in philanthropic activities boosts morale, fosters team cohesion, and strengthens corporate culture.

We also know that supporting charitable initiatives reflects positively on a company’s governance practices, ethical standards, and stakeholder trust, contributing to long-term sustainability.
