The Community Computer Connection, or C3, a supporting
organization of The Jared Polis Foundation, connects corporations,
organizations, and individuals wishing to donate used computers to
schools, non-profits, and community groups.
C3 provides solutions to
technical and logistical demands so that the transition of computer
equipment is as efficient and effective as possible (for both donors
and recipients). One of C3's innovative partnerships this year included
Washington Bilingual Elementary School and Coors Brewing Company. Coors
donated over 300 computers to be refurbished and redeployed back into
the community. Washington Bilingual's "Learn and Earn"
program became the proud recipient of the computers in April of 2003.
