The term "Mission Statement" comes up occasionally. Here's the text:
- to recycle technology and provide access to
- computers, the internet, education and job skills
- in exchange for community service.
It's a simple declaration of what Free Geek intends to do.This comes from the bylaws, in a clause reflecting Free Geek's purpose (The primary purpose(s) of Free Geek, in furtherance of its charitable and educational purpose, shall be ...)
The mission statement serves as a basis of what Free Geek's activities will be, and in that sense justifies (to the IRS) our charitable tax status.
Note: it has also been publicly advertised on the main web site since the beginning as follows in the form of a definition (slightly different wording):
- FREE GEEK is a 501(c)(3) not for profit community organization that recycles used technology to provide computers, education, internet access and job skills training to those in need in exchange for community service.
