Computers 4 Kids (C4K)

Contact Information

The Computers 4 Kids (C4K) program makes it possible to request and to donate state-owned, surplus computers and computer-related equipment to any public school district or educational service district in Washington state.

Equipment designated for C4K must meet the state’s minimum configuration standards. Configuration standards, program guidelines, and distribution guidelines were developed by staff at OSPI, the Department of Corrections, the Department of Enterprise Services, K-12 school districts and Educational Service Districts.

State Configuration Standards

All C4K computers are configured to meet Washington state standards. Most machines will arrive without an operating system. We cannot guarantee brand choice; however, we try to match brands and other specifications, if possible, on each shipment. If there are multiple brands in stock when your school's name comes up on the list, you may have a choice.
