Vision and mission statements

Vision

"NTR envisions Philadelphia as a city where all people, regardless of financial resources, have the skills, knowledge, and access to the information and communication technology they need to achieve their goals."

Mission

"NTR is committed to helping the people of Philadelphia, and the organizations that serve them, have access to and use of information and communication technology."

Capacity

NTR has the capacity to refurbish over 5,000 systems a year, and serves over 200 local NPOs. Its Computer Thrift Store offers complete systems (all at least Pentium 4 quality) from $89 to approximately $500 with three-year warranties. An internal repair capacity gives quick response to needed repairs or upgrades.

Donations of all sizes are accepted within limitations (see [2]). NTR gives receipts for donations that can be used for tax deductions.

Security

An internal NTR policy is that hard drives are removed upon system receipt, and are re-imaged before being re-installed in a system. All systems are tagged with a tracking number that, with the donor's name, is entered into a centralized database.
