Andy Whiteside

I have always wanted to give back beyond just giving money. When the pandemic hit in 2020 I realized this is my time to use my skills, and I wanted to include my home family and my work family. When the idea evolved beyond just donating computers to individuals and into the idea of supporting other nonprofit businesses, my passion for business building kicked in. |

The world needs a trustworthy organization to help people understand what e-waste can be recycled & how. So, what better way than through a non-profit run by an IT professional that can ensure the donator’s data is erased correctly, and the recipient is receiving a device with the leanest, most durable, economical operating system available. |

C4C is an opportunity to give back in a way that’s technical and tangible. Providing access to technology to underserved people is the best way to recycle! What I look forward to most from my involvement with C4C is helping to make a positive difference. I’m happy to be able to use what has been given to me to give to others. |
Todd Smith
Board Member Learn More
In my regular job, I see the impact of students not having access to technology at home or school on their ability to thrive. This leads to reduced opportunities and increased limitations. So, I love the mission of C4C, not only providing technology to others but dealing with the e-waste challenges as well. |

I am excited about the work C4C is doing. Closing the digital divide is much needed in a world of increasing dependence on technology where many are being left behind. I look forward to helping C4C build the necessary infrastructure to serve nonprofits at scale, and bring my experience in prior boards, technology, and financial services to help the organization last way beyond my involvement. |

I get so excited about the people we are helping and how many organizations and businesses are eager to join the cause. The opportunity to make a significant impact upon marginalized communities and the earth surpasses anything I initially thought.

I, like most people, look for a way to contribute; a way to help those around you. When I got to know C4C it was obvious to me right away that this was the right place for me to be. Each nonprofit of the world is working so hard to have an impact, but there is so much work on tools and infrastructure that get in the way. I’m so honored and excited to use my knowledge and skills to help each one of those nonprofits have the right technology and tools to stay focused on their mission and thrive. |

I am honored to be a part of the work Computers For Community is doing to support those marginalized by the digital divide. Getting to transform discarded technology into a valuable tool for someone in need is such an incredible opportunity. I am excited to see the impact C4C will continue to make as we grow! |
Regina Whiteside
Partner Coordinator

I have witnessed firsthand how access to technology helps students succeed in today’s world. Schools were forced to close their doors during the pandemic and transition to remote learning. My teacher-heart broke for those without working devices. So, I am looking forward to working together to make an impact! C4C uses its knowledge, skills, resources, networks, and funds to help other nonprofits with their missions. |

I wanted to be a part of helping get devices in the hands of students and families who needed them. As a campus ambassador, I’m hoping to spread awareness about what the digital divide is and the power that comes from repurposing and recycling devices properly. |
Luke Whiteside
Co-founder and Campus Ambassador

I started Computers for Community as a high school student during the pandemic. As schools went remote, I saw that many members of the community did not have the resources to make the switch to online work and education. Immediately, I set to work, transforming these laptops into working Chromebooks for students in need. In the future, I see Computers for Community continuing to give purpose to older devices and making a difference in the lives of others. |
Theresa Borowitz
Director of Business Development and Engagement Learn More
Hearing the C4C business model and the beneficial impact it will make on the community’s ability to access information struck my core belief in the immense value of knowledge which moved me to want to be a part of it. I can’t wait for the first time I witness the excitement, relief, and gratefulness in someone who receives a computer from C4C! |
