************************************************************** Net Happenings - From Educational CyberPlayGround ************************************************************** From: "Bonnie Bracey " <BBracey@xxxxxxx> Sent: Tue, 22 Apr 2003 07:45:03 -0500 Subject: Web site for the Rural Community Empowerment Program Schools and educational nonprofit organizations that would like to receive excess computers from the federal government can visit www.computers.fed.gov at the Computers for Learning website. A school is eligible to receive donations through the Computers for Learning program it if is a public, private, parochial, or home school serving pre-kindergarten through grade 12 students. An educational nonprofit is eligible if it is classified as tax-exempt under section 501(c) of the United States tax code and serves pre-kindergarten through grade 12 students. Schools and educational nonprofits must also be located within the United States of America or its territories to be eligible. Special consideration for computer donations will be given to schools and educational nonprofits in Federal empowerment zones and enterprise communities. Established by law in 1993, empowerment zones and enterprise communities were designed to create self-sustaining, long-term economic development in areas of pervasive poverty and unemployment. You can determine whether your school or educational nonprofit is located within an empowerment zone or enterprise community at the EZ/EC website.http://www.ezec.gov/ ********************************************************* LEARNING BEGINS AT BIRTH The author, June R.
