IRS990/Desc0Digital Skills Training. As more major technology companies (Google, Sprint, Comcast, AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, etc.) began offering low-cost internet and computer devices to low-income residents across the country, Connecting for Good (CFG) began to see a greater need to emphasize education and training as the major focus of its operation. In 2015, CFG trained 2120 individuals from the urban core-a 75% increase from 2014-and is on pace in 2016 to double that number again, to over 4000 people trained. Connecting for Good (CFG) instructors provide basic computer skills and digital literacy training, monitor the computer labs, promote and generate awareness for and provide training to low-income residents at these locations, including churches, community centers, and housing facilities.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Computer Refurbishing and Network Installation. In 2015 Connecting for Good (CFG) refurbished and sold 460 computers to 413 families, and served 47 non-profit organizations with Tech Support Services, respective increases of 23% and 56% respectively. This program involves receiving donated computers, and using trained staff and volunteers to prepare them to be installed, along with wireless internet networks, at churches, community centers, and housing facilities throughout the local area who need them. CFG's program is built with sustainability in mind, as it refurbishes donated computers for resale to income-qualified consumers; and offers tech support and internet service support to community centers and non-profits serving the urban core. Demand is growing from residents and non-profits for more computers and Internet service. CFG is targeting a 50% increase in earned income from computer sales and tech support, which defrays the costs of services to the community for 2016

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0In November of 2015, a new operations center opened at 3210 Michigan Ave in Kansas City, Missouri, on the campus of the Linwood Area Ministry Project (LAMP). The LAMP campus is dedicated to community development and social services for low-income residents in the eastern part of Kansas City, Missouri. Funding to remodel the space was provided by grants from sources such as the W.T. Kemper Foundation, the Hallmark Corporate Foundation, the Sprint Foundation and others. The new space provides a public computer lab with 14 desktop computers and a table for up to 10 laptops; a state of the art training classroom, complete with 10 computer workstations, a wireless keyboard and high definition TV monitor, and cameras to allow for filming and virtual projection of classes to remote locations. There is a separate tech room to store refurbished computers, administrative offices, and additional rental space available for future expansion.
