National Cristina Foundation (NCF) provides computer technology and solutions to give people with disabilities, students at risk and economically disadvantaged persons the opportunity, through training, to lead more independent and productive lives.
Every day, across America and around the world, National Cristina Foundation is working to ensure that used computer technology resources that no longer meet an enterprise's or an individual's needs are given a second productive life as a tool for developing human potential.
You have the power to increase the untapped potential of people who have special needs. National Cristina Foundation accepts donations from individuals and corporations alike.
NCF's goal resonates in its public awareness message, "Machines you can write off. People you can't." Join us in helping to realize this goal!

Recycle Indiana
Before recycling or donating electronics, it is important that you remove all personal and/or confidential information. Simply deleting files will not remove them from your device. Free data destruction software can be found online. If you are not able to do this yourself, many retailers offer this service for a small fee, and many manufacturers provide information on how to “wipe” their devices on their websites.
Recycle Wisconsin
Many electronics may not be thrown in the trash. E-Cycle Wisconsin provides easy and affordable recycling for Wisconsin residents. Visit dnr.wi.gov and search “e-cycle” for more information.
