We are hoping to replace hardware at our community organization/school. We need to purchase new laptops. Would TEF be a good candidate for funding this hardware purchase?

TEF funding may very well work for this type of project, but it would be important that you include information in your proposal that explains how new projects/initiatives will be introduced that work together with the new hardware your organization/school is requesting.

NOTE: TEF does not typically encourage proposals that simply fund the replacement of hardware/software.

Making A Difference, Locally.

"TEF was founded with an important objective – to help close the technology gap among people of all ages and all abilities. Technology changes very quickly, and it’s important that everyone is exposed to its many aspects and is able to use it as a valuable tool in all aspects of life."

— Jim Berbee, Founder of TEF —

"It is hard to find funding for technology – the Technology Education Foundation fills that gap."

— Grant Recipient —

"TEF is working to close the 'technology gap' in our community."

"The Technology Education Foundation partners with organizations that support the idea that technology is a crucial asset and tool. We believe that every member of our community must have access to the power of technology."

"TEF funds forward-thinking community groups, as well as education, technology, and science-focused organizations throughout Dane County."

Did you know that 100% of proceeds from the Berbee Derby go to the Madison-based Technology Education Fund (TEF)? The annual Thanksgiving Day event has become a family tradition for many. Fun event for all ages and levels.
