A Message From Our Executive Director

In 2013, San Diego Futures Foundation (SDFF) achieved a number of milestones that kept us pretty busy. SDFF was formed as a nonprofit almost 14 years ago to recycle technology and distribute it to nonprofits, foster families, disadvantaged community members, and most recently, to economically-impacted businesses. Since our founding, SDFF has donated, or sold at a very low cost, over 39,000 computers and other types of technology devices. That has allowed thousands of San Diego nonprofits to better serve their clients with the variety of services they offer. This capacity building has been, and remains, an economic engine that brings millions of dollars in services and benefits to our region’s most needy. Reflect for just a moment, how would you do your job if you didn’t have a computer, printer, server or Internet service?

One of the significant milestones in 2013 was the completion of a three-year, $1.945 million dollar grant from the California Emerging Technology Fund. This grant was awarded for the purpose of helping our region’s underserved populations gain access to broadband Internet services, training people in the use of technology, and helping prepare individuals with workforce readiness training to obtain better paying jobs. I am pleased to report we were able to achieve all of the grant objectives and surpass many of them with the help of our many partners including Hewlett-Packard and Cox Communications.

Another milestone in our organizational development was the establishment of a formal arrangement with one of the County’s top educational school districts, Vista Unified School District. After a chance meeting at a video project for Cox Communications, Devin Vodicka, Superintendent of Schools for Vista Unified, invited SDFF to a meeting for the purpose of discussing how we could work together on their Blueprint for Educational Excellence and Innovation. Two objectives came from that meeting. First, we would help launch an after school program teaching robotic principles at Rancho Minerva Middle School with a partner – Porpoise Robotics, and second, we would open a computer distribution site at their Vista Adult School Learning Academy. Both projects began at the end of 2013, and we look forward to reporting on their progress in our 2014 annual report.

Building on a pilot project conducted by the County of San Diego’s Aging and Independence Services in 2010, San Diego Futures Foundation configured and distributed 45 all-in-one HP computers to seniors. We also provided computer training for the purpose of improving their quality of life and to help reduce health-related

compliance problems. The seniors were part of a project called the Virtual Senior Center, started by an organization in New York called Self Help through a grant from the Consumer Electronic Association Foundation. The purpose of the grant was to connect seniors to education and social activities along with allowing them to communicate with family, friends and health care providers. The project has shown significant improvement in reducing the isolation that many seniors face when they have restricted mobility and health-related issues. The plan is to continue the project into 2014.

Thank You,

Gary Knight, Executive Director
