One of my many roles in the RPi Foundation, is working with families receiving Raspberry Pi computers as part of the PiDrop program. Every donated computer makes a huge difference to the children receiving them, allowing them to engage in online learning, and it's all thanks to the donations we receive. I only wish we could give out more.



I suspect you'd get a lot of interest if you posted more info. I'd be good for at least one Pi, if I knew it was sent to someone who needed it. I grew up with potato computers and was very glad to have them. They're 5x as critical nowadays.


I also cannot find anything for "Pi Drop" but did find something for RPi Foundation.

I know nothing about this. I searched for it. I am not associated with it. Please email them or sign up for their newsletter or whatever to confirm. I have not been successful in tracking down anything called a "pi drop" on the above website.

Edit: They do have a Marc Scott listed on their team, fwiw: https://www.raspberrypi.org/about/meet-the-team/


PiDrop is the best hidden program on earth / google.


I'm probably too late to provide more information but - https://www.raspberrypi.org/education/support-learn-at-home/


As other people have mentioned, there seems to be No information about "PiDrop" or "Pi Drop" available through either search engines (tried Bing and DuckDuckGo), nor on the RPi Foundation website.

Is it a new program, or ???


Let’s do. How much do they cost? What fundraising is in place? I can help raise money.


Agreed. This is a project I can get behind. Is there a donation page?


Yeah, please link more info.
