	This is the scheme Free Geek uses to calculate how much time, space, and money are dedicated to what kind of activity when reporting how much of these resources go into program related and other activities. The same scheme is used to categorize revenue sources. This is necessary for properly filling out our 990 forms for the IRS, due yearly in May.

 ===Adoption===
 (recycle, computers, education, internet access, job skills training)
 Volunteers volunteer hours doing receiving, recycling, etc., and are given a refurbished computer as a volunteer reward. (Some work done in the adoption program is categorized in the recycling program.)

 ===Build===
 (recycle, computers, education, internet access, job skills training)
 Volunteers learn to build computers from reused parts. They may receive a computer as a volunteer reward. Tech support is included in this program since it is a feedback loop for quality assurance purposes. This work is primarily educational for the volunteer, but also produces technology for the reuse program.

 ===Alternative/Advanced Build===
 (recycle, computers, education, internet access, job skills training)
 This is similar to the regular build program, but focuses on more offbeat types of items, than the standard computer.

 ===Reuse and E-Waste Diversion===
 (responsible recycling through maximizing the life of technology)
 By encouraging reuse of electronics, we extend the life of the gizmo and have the highest possible environmental impact. Activities not elsewhere classified that fall under this program are classified here.

 ===Internet Access===
 (providing internet access to the community)
 This is for direct internet access and associated activities. Disbursement of computers through the hardware grants, adoption, and build programs are elsewhere classified.

 ===Education and Replication===
 Education in general, and education about how Free Geek operates. By having open source documentation and developing open source software, we encourage other organizations to fulfill our mission and replicate our activities.

 ===Internships and Job Training===
 (job skills training)
 Paid apprenticeships go here. Volunteer internships not elsewhere classified also go here.
@@ Line 112: / Line 126: @@
 ===Recycling===
 When reuse is not feasible, we dispose of the e-waste in the most environmentally way possible. There is also an educational component for volunteers, as they learn the components of the gizmos as well as basic job skills.
