Downstream Audit Program

In the spirit of transparency  TFPG Inc. we have instituted a downstream audit of where our donations are going, so we are always accountable to the community we serve. However we will not be giving out the names of the specific clients so as to ensure that  client  confidentiality is respected, unless the client gives us written permission to do so for promotional purposes. 

The TFPG Inc. Can always use Volunteers in the following fields:

We are an organization who's first priority is to help the people of our community who are financially challenged to secure fully operational computer systems, in an effort to help them improve their quality of life, and bridge the clear division that exists technologically for them and to provide the community at large with a working solution to electronic waste by implementation of the Three R's a) Reuse b)Refurbish c)Recycle

We are in need of volunteers currently working or are in training  in the following fields within the computing industry who want to keep their skills fine tuned & can make a serious commitment of 4- 8 hrs per week.

A Grassroots Organization With A Grassroots Approach To E-Waste

Technology For People Group Inc. is a Grassroots Organization driven by citizens locally created and operated, we are driven by the spirit of giving selflessly to our community. We are devoting ourselves to ending the clear division that exists between technology and low income families and individuals as well as their ability to acquire and maintain it. It is a proven fact that not all of the people here in this beautiful province have access to computer technology or other electronics that would make life a little easier. Our aim is open up the world of technology to all families and individuals as well as to provide the necessary training to allow them to properly use and maintain this technology.We a are passionate in our belief that all people in this province, regardless of their background or financial status, should have access to technology. Computer technology which is no longer considered a luxury, it is a very necessary tool in todays' society as well as other technologies that will give them a meaningful edge in today's fast paced society. We are passionate about our belief in protecting our environment by refurbishing, reusing and recycling of electronic products to extend the life of them in an effort to slow the flow and eventually halt them from ending up in landfills and out the way illegal dump sites not sanctioned by our federal, provincial and municipal governments.




Local Focus

Located in St.John's, Newfoundland & Labrador. We are a local organization which started on May 28th 2005.and became incorporated on April 16th, 2008 which hopes to expand its operations throughout the province of Newfoundland & Labrador in the very near future.


What we do

What do we do? With computer technology being our primary focus we refurbish and recycle most full PC & Mac Systems and their  parts, manuals. software and other electronic devices for use by families and individuals who may meet our criteria.

If they do not already have a computer in their home, it can be demonstrated that they are in a financial situation that will not permit them to purchase a new system and they meet all other TFPG INC. criteria, we will supply them with computer technology for a very nominal fee of $65.00  to  $125.00 for a as depending on the system as well as the training to use them.

We are expanding our recycling and refurbishing and reuse mandate to include the majority of electronic products available on the market today in an effort to assist  various levels of government and non-governmental agencies to reduce the demand on our already strained landfill system by way of promoting its reuse, refurbishing & recycling to the general public through advertising, informational sessions, E-waste dump and runs similar to the hazardous waste drop programs promoted by the province currently once adequate facilities can be secured
