The Refurbished Computer Initiative (RCI) program at TechSoup provides high-quality refurbished computers and other hardware solutions to eligible nonprofit organizations and libraries throughout the United States.
Eligibility and Restrictions
If eligible, your organization may receive an unlimited number of products within a fiscal year (July 1 to June 30). However, each request may include no more than 10 of any individual product requested. Consult the eligibility and restrictions page to review your organization's eligibility to participate in this program.
Refurbished Computer Categories
To help organizations choose the products that best fit their needs, each refurbished computer is organized into one of three categories: low-tier, mid-tier, or high-tier.
| High-tier |
High-tier computers can perform all the same tasks as low- and mid-tier equipment, and can handle more resource-intensive tasks such as web publishing, advanced image-editing, and video editing. They have more powerful processors and greater storage capacity, and are more suited for faster-paced working environments. |
| Mid-tier |
Mid-tier computers can perform all the same tasks as low-tier equipment, and are better equipped for multi-tasking and supporting more complex tasks like basic image-editing and creating presentations. They have average processor speeds and storage capacities. |
| Low-tier |
Low-tier computers are intended for single tasks such as web browsing, word processing, creating basic spreadsheets, and writing emails. They have lower processor speeds and smaller storage capacities. |
