The model of the NPO would be built around what Free Geek has established. Its pretty much taking in used computers to either be salvaged or recycled. The salvaged computers would be rebuilt by volunteers and then ubuntu will be installed. After that is completed, the computers will then be donated to other NPO's, charities, schools, and needy families. The recycled computers would be broken down to their basic elements (or as far as we could take them) and then shipped to local recyclers to be properly recycled. The NPO would earn their money through the recycling (not including Monitors) and a possible thrift store for overstock on parts and computers.

Check out http://freegeek.org for more info.
