2010 Recipient: Handy Capable Network; Barbara Davis, founder and executive director
Barbara Davis created Handy Capable Network as a win-win-win: Her nonprofit collects used computers, saving them from landfills; trains people with disabilities to refurbish them, giving them meaningful work experience; and sells or distributes the revived computers to schools and needy families.
Handy Capable and Barbara Davis have supported Consortium member organizations by providing affordable computer equipment and technical assistance. They have outfitted entire computer labs as well as provided individual computers for our members as well as repaired numerous computers. Their new Technical Advisor, Trish Perkins, has worked with the Consortium in leading social media workshops as well as providing individual technical assistance to our members that use the Salesforce donor management system.
Most recently, Handy Capable has entered into a collaborative arrangement with the Consortium to provide an IT HelpDesk through which our members can access free technology assessments and affordable services and equipment
