The Electronic Recycling Association (ERA) is proud to support local arts and culture by donating technology to Canadian non-profit organizations that make a meaningful community impact. As part of this commitment, ERA recently donated one laptop and two monitors to the Calgary International Film Festival Society, helping strengthen its operational capacity and day-to-day productivity.
Supporting Arts & Culture Through Technology Reuse
The Calgary International Film Festival Society (CIFF) plays a vital role in promoting independent cinema, supporting filmmakers, and enriching Calgary’s cultural landscape. Reliable technology is essential for coordinating festivals, managing digital content, handling communications, and supporting administrative work behind the scenes.
By providing refurbished electronics, ERA is helping CIFF continue its work efficiently – while also extending the life of quality devices through responsible technology reuse. This approach supports both community organizations and environmental sustainability.
Why Technology Donations Matter
Many non-profit organizations operate with limited budgets, making access to reliable technology a significant challenge. ERA’s technology donation programs are designed to bridge this gap by:
- Extending the lifecycle of electronics through reuse
- Ensuring secure data destruction before redeployment
- Supporting Canadian charities, schools, and community organizations
- Reducing electronic waste sent to landfills
Every donated device contributes to a greener future while empowering organizations that serve our communities.
ERA’s Commitment to Community Impact
ERA works with businesses, institutions, and individuals across Canada to collect gently used electronics and redirect them toward charitable reuse whenever possible. Donations like this one to the Calgary International Film Festival Society demonstrate how responsible electronics recycling can create direct, local impact.
If your organization is in need of technology – or if your business has surplus electronics available for donation- ERA is here to help.
