What it is

Computers for Learning (CFL) is a federal program run by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) that transfers surplus federal computers and peripherals — for free — to K-12 schools and educational nonprofits. The link in this resource (computersforlearning.gov) is the official registration and request portal, branded as the "Personal Property Management System."
Authorized under Executive Order 12999, the program is active in FY26. GSA hosted a virtual training on March 25, 2026, and regional offices regularly post equipment batches (e.g., GSA's New England Region recently listed 70+ machines).

Who can register

  • K-12 schools — public, private, or parochial, pre-K through grade 12
  • Educational nonprofits — must be 501(c) tax-exempt
  • Must be located in the U.S., U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, or the Northern Mariana Islands
By registering, you attest to eligibility; the donating federal agency may ask for proof (e.g., IRS determination letter).

What you get

Surplus federal computer equipment: desktops, laptops, monitors, printers, and related peripherals. Condition varies — these are excess government machines, not new hardware. Equipment is free, but the recipient pays packing and shipping.

How to use it

  1. Go to computersforlearning.gov and create an account as a school or educational nonprofit.
  1. Once approved, browse the live inventory of items federal agencies have flagged as excess.
  1. Submit a request for the items you want. The donating agency reviews and selects recipients.
  1. Arrange and pay for shipping if your request is approved.

Useful for

Nevada County K-12 schools and local educational nonprofits looking to expand their device inventory at near-zero hardware cost. Best suited to organizations that can absorb shipping costs and refurbish/redeploy used equipment. Less useful for individuals or families — this is an organizational program, not a direct-to-household device giveaway. For individual device help, see TechEmpower's other Tech resources.
