A GoFundMe launched in February 2024 with the goal of funding Bi2FKs. I have already used money donated to the GFM to purchase Tracfones.
The long game is to form a 501(c)3 in order to apply for grants and appeal directly to “pay-as-you-go” phone companies.
Additionally, there are also organizations across the country who gather used cell phones for organizations similar in nature to the BiblioUnderground, but again, a charitable organization status from the IRS is required…
I am unable to accept phones as donations as this time (though I hope that changes in the future). Until then, if you’d like to donate your old cell phones, please see the NCADV’s Donate a Phone Program.
