In an effort to assist New York nonprofit organizations that have temporarily lost the use of their computer equipment or Internet access due to the recent tragic events, the Foundation Center is offering free use of its computer lab in the New York library and learning center to these organizations during normal business hours. The lab is equipped with 22 computers running Microsoft Office Suite software and with high-speed Internet connections. Pre-registration is not required, although nonprofits will be asked to sign in at the reception desk. The Foundation Center is located at 79 Fifth Avenue, between 15th and 16th Streets. Normal business hours are Monday-Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

For questions or more details about computer lab availability, contact Charlotte Dion at (212) 807-2411, or via e-mail at cd@foundationcenter.org.
