PHONE FUND has three goals: First, to be a resource for schools, churches and other organizations and even individuals who wish to raise funds for their projects easily and without start-up costs, and without asking anyone for money. Second, to give new life to old technology. We believe in generating reuse rather than generating waste. Third, to keep toxic e-waste out of the landfill. There are more than 150 million unused cell phones sitting in homes all over America. These phones could mean funds for your group. Phone Fund helps you organize cell phone collections, and pays you for all the phones you collect. You spend no money to get started, and your whole community, including local businesses and families, becomes a resource, plus you don't have to ask anyone for money. We also accept your collected digital cameras, PDA's and laptops. We work with each group and customize a campaign to help you maximize this fund-raising opportunity. Your group collects, ships to us at our cost and Phone Fund sends you a check. The whole process couldn't be easier! We have a variety of methods of disposing of the cell phones and other electronics you collect. Phones are given new life through refurbishing, where they get new faceplates, LCD's, batteries or whatever is needed, and are repackaged and offered into secondary markets such as the pre-paid industry. Those phones that cannot be refurbished are recycled in an environmentally sound manner. They are sent to recyclers and smelters to be defracted for their component parts according to EPA standards.
