OUR HISTORY

1999

Computer Banc began in 1999 with the support of a local Springfield (IL) church, and immediately began to grow.

March 2002

Computer Banc received not-for-profit status.

August 2002

Computer Banc moved to a larger facility in the rear of the Catholic Charities building at 11th and Washington. That giant step forward gave us the space to expand operations and provide more computers.

January 2004

Computer Banc became a Nonprofit Microsoft Registered Refurbisher, which allows us to provide fully-licensed Windows operating systems on the computers we provide. Computer Banc is the largest Nonprofit Microsoft Registered Refurbisher in Illinois

December 2019

Computer Banc set another new record, providing over 1800 computers in a single year. This brings the organization's total distribution over 10 years to almost 5,000 computers!

2020

Computer Banc purchased a three building complex to better serve our expanding community of customers nationwide.

2021 forward

Computer Banc will continue to expand, providing thousands of more computers to Illinois communities and their at-risk populations.
