We ask for fleet devices of 5 or more the same. If you have a personal device you want to contribute, your kindness is appreciated, but the amount of labour is vastly greater when we're dealing with large numbers of different mismatched devices.
So far most of our devices have either been ex-education or ex-corporate.
We do not have the manpower to refurbish hardware at scale. There is plenty of working ex-fleet equipment out there anyway.
We will factory reset equipment, but if you need to do a deep wipe of its contents (ie DBAN) please do that yourself first.
Small numbers of devices may occasionally be diverted for projects or personal purposes out of sheer practicality. These are documented in the statistics.
Devices do not have to be the latest and greatest, but should at least be able to run a reasonably current OS and browser. Core 2 Duo would be a minimum.

We aren't yet tax-deductible, though that's in the works.
If you live in Melbourne and have a car and a license, and are willing to drop stuff off, you may be able to help.
