The Women’s Funding Network is recycling cell phones to:
Support programs that lift women and families out of poverty;
Help support women-led solutions to the most pressing global issues from climate change to economic security; and
Provide 911 emergency phones for senior citizens and people at risk.
How It Works:
Roughly 60 percent of cell phones sent in will be refurbished and resold. A percentage of the revenue generated from resold phones is invested in programs that lift women and families out of poverty.
A portion of the phones not sold will be programmed to dial 911 and donated to domestic violence survivors, elders and low-income people at risk for use in emergencies.
The remaining cell phones are recycled according to EPA standards.
