Support IT4Kids with a contribution and provide children with a lasting opportunity to engage in sports!
Donate IT-hardware now

Which hardware can you donate?

Would you like to contribute to creating structural sports opportunities for children who wouldn’t otherwise have them due to financial or physical challenges? Many companies donate their depreciated IT-hardware to us, such as laptops, desktops, servers, switches, smartphones, tablets, monitors, and routers.

For smaller quantities, the transportation and processing costs often exceed the value of the donation. Therefore, it becomes interesting to donate from 15 pieces onwards.

We donate the value to the projects of charities we collaborate with. Donating IT-hardware to IT4Kids costs you nothing and is incredibly valuable.

Safely donating IT-hardware and laptops: How it works

Donating IT-hardware with your company to IT4Kids is simple and safe. All you need to do is contact us to schedule a pickup appointment. We’ll take care of the rest.

You don’t need to worry about the data on the IT-hardware. Our processing partners remove stored data in a careful, certified (ISO) manner. You will receive proof of this for each data carrier. Only after the data has been removed, we ensure that the IT-hardware is passed on to professional parties that give the devices a second life.

Donating IT equipment: step-by-step explained

How does donating IT equipment, such as old computers, laptops, or servers, work exactly? Let us explain step by step:

Step 1. Go to IT4Kids.com and register the hardware
Specify which donated IT equipment you would like us to pick up. We will contact you, provide information on what will happen to your equipment, and schedule a pickup appointment.

Step 2. We pick up the IT equipment from your company
According to the appointment, we will visit your location. We take the devices with us to securely remove the data.

Step 3. Data is removed in a certified manner
To ensure that your IT-hardware no longer contains any data, we have it certified removed. This way, you can be sure that there is no sensitive information left on the IT-hardware you donated. Each device receives a certificate of data wiping after the process.

Step 4. The value of the IT-hardware you donated goes to projects providing children with lasting sports opportunities
Once the certificate of data wiping is issued, the value of the equipment goes to the charity of your choice.

“Through the story of IT4Kids, I discovered that you can also do something good with hardware. Used hardware has no value for us, but it does for others. We support IT4Kids because in this way we can contribute to providing every child in the Netherlands the opportunity to play sports. It is a wonderful goal.”

“I like that, not only do children get an opportunity to play sports, the donated hardware also gets a second life. IT4Kids is a great place to send our unused hardware. It is organized in a very pleasant and professional way. It’s great because on one hand, you are well taken care of and on the other, you are also contributing to something good."

“We want to contribute to the children in the Netherlands. We can provide 108 children an opportunity to play sports through our old hardware. And that is really fantastic!
