Overview
The Free Geek mothership of Portland Oregon www.freegeek.org is the inspiration for the Free Geek Seattle organization (FGS).
FGS has formed an organization to educate computer users in the benefits of Free Open Source Software (FOSS), recycle and reuse computer hardware and donate or sell the recycled equipment to those who are not able to purchase new computers.
Deliverables:
- Obtain IRS 501(c)(3) tax exempt status.
- Procure office space for holding classes, recycling computers and presenting a store front.
- Create a system to seek donations and volunteers by advertising at local events, communities, schools, corporations, and other non-profit organizations.
