Helping Philadelphians get access to digital devices is a key goal in Philadelphia’s Digital Equity Plan. The following programs and services can help you get a free or low-cost laptop, desktop computer, tablet, or other electronic device as available.
If you need help getting a device, contact a Digital Navigator. They work closely with the City’s PHLDonateTech initiative, which helps provide computers to residents in need.
