Welcome to the website!
Computers For
Kids, Inc. is a non-profit, qualified 501(C) 3, organization. Our
mission is to enhance the chances for academic success of disadvantaged
and underserved students. We eliminate the” digital divide”
by giving an opportunity to own
an internet ready computer at a cost that is affordable to most low
income families, and which is much lower than the open market.
Computers provide a level playing field on which these students
can compete on their merits and ambitions, not the financial condition
of their family. A computer is the tool that opens up the entire
world to those who live in communities where they only see the world
from ground level. An internet ready computer can provide
knowledge and opportunities that are usually open only to those with
the financial means.
CFK collects retired computers and peripherals from many
businesses and government agencies as they upgrade to new equipment.
We refurbish the computers, adding a new modem. These refurbished
computers are then distributed through a network of schools and other
non-profit organizations to low income, disadvantaged and underserved
students and families in Utah.
