Archive-name: non-profit-organizations

There have been a number of postings from non-profit organizations
requesting donations of used / old computer equipment. Here is a list
of some of them for archival purposes.
This list will be re-posted when there are additions/corrections.
Send additions/corrections to [e-mail].
The list can be obtained by anonymous ftp from pit-manager.mit.edu
as the file /pub/usenet/news.answers/non-profit-organizations.

For convenience, the list is divided into 3 categories:
1) Churches
These are generally not hackers, and require working equipment mainly for
desktop publishing / accounts etc.

2) High school and college groups
Some of these are hackers, and would love to get their hands on odd-looking
computer curios.

3) Others
