Background

The IT for Dominica Foundation is a volunteer organization who, for almost twenty-five years, has partnered with public entities in Canada and the Commonwealth of Dominica in the interest of providing contemporary education to students and teachers in Dominica. Over this time IT for Dominica has provided professional development, technology resources, technicians, and professional and technical expertise.

• We hold a long-term history of nearly 25 years working with the Dominican Ministry of Education, with educators in Dominica and in Canada, and with technical staff in both countries. We have worked directly with primary and secondary level teachers from almost every school on the island.
• We have offered professional development programs to over 1000 Dominican teachers with consistently excellent evaluations from participants.
• We have experience in shipping educational resources to Dominica.  In the early 2000’s the IT for Dominica Project was the #1 supplier of technologies to Dominican schools. In 2019 and 2020 we sourced, delivered and installed donated quality used technologies including over 4000 Chromebooks as well as digital projectors, switches, wireless access points, weather safe cases and other critical technical components in almost every primary school and many secondary schools on the island.  In 2025 we expect to deliver more than 500 additional devices.  We have a proven track record in delivering supplies and technical expertise to students and teachers in sometimes challenging logistical situations.​

• We believe in the power of partnerships serving education. This includes public and private partners – both in Canada and in Dominica.
• We address targeted needs, meeting educational needs in Dominica by working closely with the Ministry of Education and schools in the Commonwealth of Dominica.
• We are results oriented. We set goals and fulfill those goals by working with partners, volunteers and donors. We share the results of each phase with all contributors.
• We value the expertise of our professional development and technical teams, involving some of the most talented IT integrators in Canada and Dominica, sharing experiences and expertise.
• We minimize expenses.  As an all volunteer organization, we have no paid administrative or fundraising staff.  Our board and committee members have committed countless hours to our foundation and as a group have personally donated over $10,000 to our cause.
