 Technology for Social Good |

In conjunction with Earth Day this year, JPMorgan Chase and Good360 announced the launch of Tech Warehouse, a Technology for Social Good program that will assist Good360’s network of nonprofit organizations and schools with contributions of refurbished technology to enhance communities, improve individual productivity and address zero waste initiatives. This innovative program leverages the benefits of sustainable management of resources at their end of life in order to make a positive impact on the world.
Since the introduction of the Tech Warehouse program in April, more than 80 nonprofits of all shapes and sizes have received in excess of 400 refurbished laptops. Under the new partnership, JPMorgan Chase plans to replace hard drives in more than 3,000 computers and exclusively distribute them to Good360’s nonprofit network. Under this pilot program, these clean and tested refurbished computers equipped with basic peripherals and OS software will be made available over the next year.
“Our new donation marketplace provides a great platform to distribute these highly desirable computers that would otherwise go to a landfill,” said Ellie Hollander, Chief Strategy Officer & EVP for Business Development at Good360. “Good360 is committed to creating corporate, nonprofit and environmental win-win outcomes for excess technology and we’re thrilled to be working with JPMorgan Chase on Tech Warehouse.”
Qualified nonprofits will be permitted to acquire up to 15 products annually and five per quarter. Donations must be used for the primary purpose of serving the ill, needy or youth and cannot be resold, auctioned, traded, bartered or cross international borders. Charities will be asked to pay $65 to cover shipping and handling fees, and the program will also require recipients to properly recycle the computers when they reach their end of life.
