How to Donate Surplus Equipment


 

University of Iowa Transfers

UI departments wishing to directly support our linkages with African universities may transfer surplus equipment to The WiderNet Project for use in our partner institutions. These transfers of equipment contribute to building the digital technology capacity of our colleagues and their institutions in Africa. They also further the educational mission of The University of Iowa and may be included in the UI cost sharing when we seek external grants.

The process works like this:

1. See the previous Donations Web page to make sure that we can use your donation. You can call 335-2200, if necessary.
2. Affix one label to each of the items (or boxes) that are for The WiderNet Project and attach a note with a list of the items with the other information for UI Surplus. To assist you, we created labels using Avery Standard 5160 Address Stickers. Click here for PDF or here for DOC.
3. Complete the UI Surplus pick-up form at www.uiowa.edu/~fusprop/forms/srrf.pdf, because UI Surplus is responsible for UI security, especially wiping hard drives. When completing the form, you need to specify that some or all of the materials are for WiderNet. You can also call them at 335-5001
4. Finally, please fill out a Donations form and either email it to us at donations@widernet.org or send it to us through campus mail at 201 CC . Thanks!
