NCF's Mission
National Cristina Foundation (NCF) provides computer technology and solutions to give people with disabilities, students at risk and economically disadvantaged persons the opportunity, through training, to lead more independent and productive lives.
Every day, across America and around the world, National Cristina Foundation is working to ensure that used computer technology resources that no longer meet an enterprise's needs are given a second productive life as a tool for developing human potential.
NCF's Strategic Partner - CompTIA
CompTIA, the Computing Technology Industry Association, was founded in 1982. Today it represents over 10,000 companies and professional IT members among hardware and software manufacturers, distributors, resellers, system integrators, VARs, retailers and e-tailers as well as training, service, telecommunications and Internet companies. In addition to providing a unified voice for the industry in the areas of public policy, workforce development and electronic commerce standards, CompTIA certifies information technology and service professionals with its widely adopted and vendor-neutral certification programs.
NCF has been selected as CompTIA's major civic outreach project. We are honored to have the CompTIA Board of Directors serving on the NCF Circle of Leaders Advisory Board.
"We are very proud of our partnership role with NCF and hope to bring more industry companies into contact with the foundation. It gives people with special needs more opportunity to become productive members of our society." - John A. Venator, President and CEO, CompTIA
NCF Special Friend - Vint Cerf, Co-Founder of the Internet
"NCF's programs bring connection and self-expression to people too long isolated from the world. I regularly receive messages from people whose various disabilities immobilize them in the real world, but who overcome these problems in cyberspace with the liberating click of a mouse on the Internet. Here's to NCF's own long life!"
- Vint Cerf, Senior Vice President, Internet Architecture and Technology, WorldCom
