01What it does

What Comp-U-Dopt Inc does

Mission

Providing technology access and education to underprivilieged children

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Programs

  1. Computer adoption - we host community-based events to distribute recently retired corporate computers that have been reconditioned. The computer adoption program is highly efficient, allowing us to distribute hundreds of devices in just a few hours. Distribution events are held in partnership with community-based organizations, bringing devices to the neighborhoods that are most in need and eliminating barriers of time and transportation. The computers are free to recipients. To qualify for a computer, a family must not have access to a working computer at home and must have a child in pre-k-12 education (up to age 26). Families are then selected to receive a computer through a lottery system. Computers come with two years of free tech support.compudopt has been in the device access and digital inclusion sector for over 16 years with an evidence-based record of successfully deploying tens of thousands of computers to under-resourced communities across the country. To satisfy the demand for devices, compudopt has developed the internal capacity to collect, refurbish, and redistribute surplus and retired computers from several physical sites in the u.s.

  2. Connectivity - connectivity is a critical component to solving the digital divide. Compudopt offers a sustainable and long-term connectivity solution for communities. This technology infrastructure allows households the opportunity to connect for free to 50mbs download speed enabling every individual family member to access distance learning, virtual enrichment, telehealth, apply for jobs, upskill, and access the wealth of other services available only online. Our goal is to help the most under-connected get quality service. We know that it's more than just affordability that can hold families back from access; it's about trust, relevance, and sustainability. We've seen that simply taking the time to really listen to our community members and providing hands-on case management substantially increases their confidence and ability to get connected.

  3. Tech education - we teach hands-on curriculum-based programs to 1st-12th grade students on school campuses and at community sites, building their confidence in using new technologies and helping them develop skills aligned with high-demand careers. Each cohort serves up to 15 students and they attend one to two sessions per week over 10-12 weeks or camp sessions over school breaks for 20-25 hours. Each student who graduates from our 3rd-12th grade programs receives a free computer.

The organization over time

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 6 funders to 42 funders, grant income rose $116k → $13M.

23 of 113 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 10% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $5.2M arriving through sponsors registered in 16 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
