Individual teachers and other educators post requests for financial support for specific classroom projects on two partner websites:

Computers

Project Refresh is the district's technology donation program that strengthens Boston's ability to put technology resources into the hands of teachers and students. By establishing new strategic partnerships with Boston's business community to acquire donated computers through annual commitments, Project Refresh augments BPS's efforts to create a sustainable computer lifecycle model that provides schools with updated technology tools to help all students meet high standards.

The Mather welcomes ongoing, annual commitments of recently refreshed computers and technology equipment from Boston businesses and community organizations. To learn more about the program, please contact:
