Kramden Institute's Mission

Since Kramden’s founding in 2003, we have helped thousands of students across North Carolina take their first step in bridging the digital divide. At Kramden, our focus is to help deserving students fulfill their academic and personal potential by awarding them home computers when they had none before. By working in tandem with our partners, from volunteers to educators to corporate sponsors, we help serve the needs of the community by refurbishing/recycling/reusing used computers and giving them a second life in a student's home.
