Guide to Donating Surplus IT Property to Bridge the Digital Divide
State departments are encouraged to send surplus IT equipment to public schools or to foster youth attending a public California state college or university. Departments may release donated IT equipment to registered refurbishers that are partnered with eligible public schools, college, or universities.
State agencies shall attempt to donate IT property that cannot be reutilized with another state agency in accordance with Public Utilities Code 709(d). State agencies are also encouraged to donate surplus laptops to the foster youth attending public colleges or universities in accordance with SAM section 3520.11.
Schools, Colleges, and Universities are encouraged to complete an eligibility form and submit it online to ContactSPR@dgs.ca.gov. This will make your institution eligible to receive all types of surplus property from state agencies, not only IT equipment. Please note, if you are partnered with a refurbisher, the refurbisher may only receive IT equipment from state agencies.
State agencies may select eligible schools, colleges, or universities to donate to by completing their Property Survey Report (STD 152) online at csps.dgs.ca.gov. State agencies must select Disposition Code 7. A list of eligible schools is located at the bottom of this page.
