Current Needs

The Twin Cities Free-Net greatly appreciates donations of electronic or office equipment and supplies, as well as financial contributions. TCFN is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. All contributions are tax-deductible.

Equipment, Services, and Supplies

TCFN currently occupies a temporary office space in the City of Lakes Transitional Care Center at 110 E 18th St, #110, Minneapolis. We need the following equipment and services and would greatly appreciate donations or discounts:

A Pentium or better PC capable of running Windows '98 and Office '97.
A Pentium II PC with at least 3 GB of hard disk, to act as a backup server.
An office space, preferably with street access, with paid or discounted rent and enough room for two tables.
Modems, 33.6 or better, external perfered
Any Pc 100hz or better, or Powermacs to be used for labs

Additionally, we can always use laser paper, #10 window envelopes, and HP LaserJet 4 toner cartridges. A gift certificate to Media Express or Central Purchasing Services would make an excellent donation.

Cash Donations

We currently have no paid employees and are trying to develop TCFN's service into a financially self-sustaining operation. We also need money to pay for our Internet connection, phone lines, utilities, equipment, and supplies. Our only ongoing sources of revenue are contributions from users and annual fees from organizational members. We watch our pennies carefully; you can be sure that your contribution will be put to good use. Checks can be sent to:

Make checks payable to Twin Cities Free-Net.
