1.1 Which products are available through the CTX Programme?
The CTX Programme offers donated or discounted technology products to eligible organisations. Please see Browse Products for further information.
1.2 Why do you charge administrative fees?
The CTX Programme will be charging an administrative fee for each donation request processed. The fee is to cover the cost of administering the donation programme.
Whilst the administrative fees vary, charities will still make savings of between 92-96% on typical retail prices.
Fees ensure that the CTX Programme can continue to offer donated products as efficiently as possible, at the lowest possible cost.
