Where does my money actually go?
Where does my donation go?
Yes — a money gift on recyclictech.com/donate/give pays for four labelled jobs: NIST SP 800-88 sanitisation of donated machines, spare parts so a laptop actually boots, prepaid courier labels for hardware that would otherwise stay stranded, and last-mile shipping from the Rădăuți depot toward classrooms in Ukraine, Moldova, rural Romania, Serbia, Montenegro and the Western Balkans. Food money is a second purpose, chosen on a different form, not mixed into laptop cash.

What a euro does not buy
It does not buy a published overhead ratio. RecyclicTech has not issued an audited charity breakdown of “programme vs fundraising vs admin,” because it is not a charity. It does not buy a unit cost such as “€50 = one child.” Those sentences are banned on this site until a sourced calculation exists.
Who the payment lands on
Stripe Checkout charges Service Parts Online Ltd, trading as RecyclicTech. Swiss Donations published a fundraiser that names us; their listed destination organisation is not RecyclicTech’s Stripe account. Give here if the gift is for this campaign.
