Fostering Civic Outreach CompTIA has chosen the National Cristina Foundation (NCF) as its official civic outreach partner. NCF provides computer technology and solutions to people with disabilities, students at risk and economically disadvantaged persons. NCF encourages corporations and individuals to donate surplus and used computers, software, peripherals and related business technology. These donations are then directed to training and educational organizations that serve these at-risk groups. All of this takes place for no charge to either the donors or recipients. CompTIA's dedication to IT workforce development made a partnership with NCF a perfect match. CompTIA is proud to have been working with NCF since 2002. CompTIA Membership Information technology has become a significant presence in all areas of business today and CompTIA's membership reflects that breadth. CompTIA's membership includes manufacturers, distributors, resellers, solution providers, ISPs, ASPs, software developers, e-commerce and telecom companies. As a result of CompTIA's involvement in IT education, training and public policy many academic, not-for-profit and government agencies have also joined the association.
