Connected Classrooms Initiative
Empowering Wisconsin's Future—One Apple Device at a Time
At Giving Mac, we believe every student deserves access to the tools and technology they need to succeed—regardless of their zip code or economic background. That’s why we launched the Connected Classrooms Initiative, a program dedicated to equipping under-advantaged K–12 students in Wisconsin with new Apple devices.
Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we transform contributions—whether monetary or in the form of used Apple devices—into tangible educational opportunities. Proceeds from these donations are used to fund the purchase and distribution of new iPads, MacBooks, and other essential Apple technology for students in need.
Whether learning remotely, completing assignments, or accessing digital resources, the right device can make a world of difference in a student’s ability to keep up, stay motivated, and thrive.
Why It Matters
In today’s classrooms, technology isn’t just helpful—it’s foundational. But for many students across Wisconsin, especially in rural or economically challenged districts, access to reliable technology is still out of reach. These gaps widen learning disparities and limit future opportunities.
Our Connected Classrooms Initiative is focused on changing that by:
-
Donating new Apple devices to students who need them most.
-
Supporting teachers and schools with reliable tech integration.
-
Ensuring students are equipped to learn, create, and connect—no matter where they are.
