DIGITAL
DIVIDE
Technology shouldn’t be a privilege. We’re working to ensure every student and family can thrive in a connected world.
E-WASTE
EPIDEMIC
Every discarded device tells a story—we turn these stories into opportunities by transforming e-waste into tools for progress.
Welcome To Change
At the Hendricks Foundation, we believe in the power of technology to transform lives and communities. Founded in 2022, our mission is to bridge the Digital Divide and combat the E-Waste Epidemic by connecting underserved communities with access to technology and education. We envision a world where everyone, regardless of socioeconomic status, has the tools they need to thrive in an increasingly digital future.
Our approach is simple yet impactful: we recycle and refurbish e-waste—computers, laptops, tablets, and more—and transform them into opportunities. Through our Access 2 All program, we train students in computer repair, providing them with hands-on skills that empower them for future careers in STEM fields. Each student leaves our program not only with valuable technical expertise but also with the very laptop they repaired, ensuring that technology becomes a part of their daily lives.
We are more than just a nonprofit; we are a Catalyst For Change. Since our inception, we’ve collected over 800 devices, recycled more than 6,000 pounds of e-waste, and distributed over 130 devices to students and nonprofits. Every laptop saved from the landfill and every student equipped with new skills is a step closer to building equitable access to technology for all.
The Hendricks Foundation stands as a beacon of hope, sustainability, and Empowerment. Together with our partners and supporters, we are creating a future where technology bridges gaps, not widens them—one repaired device at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get to know us a little better
What is our vision?
The Hendricks Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization designed to tackle the growing digital divide among our students. We can change a child’s life forever by repairing e-waste and donating it to those without proper access to digital education.
What does the Hendricks Foundation do?
The Hendricks Foundation brings digital education to students that do not have the means to acquire it. Our Primary program takes donations of new, used or broken computers. Once those computers are in our hands, we renew them and distribute them to the students who are in need of them.
Why is the Hendricks Foundation important?
Without access to the digital world, students will fall behind in our digital age. And where ever there is an educational gap, there is room for poverty.
Who is the Hendricks Foundation helping?
The Hendricks Foundation will primarily provide computers and digital resources to students who are in school from grade 5 up to the college level.
Why did the Hendricks Foundation choose to make an impact?
At the Hendricks Foundation, we see that the world is changing. And with the changing world, the digital universe is also transforming with it. Yet some students do not have the means access to access digital education. Rather than see a problem swell and expand, we have chosen to transform the futures that we will inhabit. Every single student that receives adequate access to the digital universe, is one less educational gap in our ever-changing world.
How will the Hendricks Foundation create change?
The Hendricks Foundation will provide and facilitate means for students to gain access to digital education. We will distribute donated computers to the students who need them. We will create educational programs to teach children about the digital universe. We will help students learn how to do repairs on their machines and upon others.
What transformation will the Hendricks Foundation bring to the world?
The Hendricks Foundation will close the digital divide and facilitate virtual education for all.
Any future plans?
As the Hendricks foundation expands, so will the programs that we offer. For now we are primarily in the United States, however. Within due time, we will bring our programs internationally.
