Touch the Future, Inc. (TTF) began in 1989 as the first Georgia statewide Assistive Technology (AT) conference.   In 1994, we incorporated and became a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization.   The Nonprofit incorporation was and is overseen by a board consisting of professionals throughout various industries with a majority of members having   disabilities or who have family members with a disability.   From the training and assistive technology expertise roots, programs began to expand.

In 1997, Touch the Future's ReBoot™ -Computer & AT Reutilization Project was created and piloted the Microsoft Authorized Refurbisher Program.   ReBoot™ has grown into a nationally trademarked, copy righted and bench marked program with over 10,000 computers issued to individuals with disabilities, seniors, Veterans and individuals who are disadvantaged.   And since October 2007 over 200 tons of e-waste has been kept out of landfills through our process.

In 1999, the Microsoft sponsored Lifelong-Learning-Lab established a state-of-the-art lab for demonstrations and training in AT software applications and computer literacy for   all ages.  

In 2002, ReBoot™ was trademarked and nationally recognized as reuse best practice.  

In 2007, RSA’s STAR Network Grant designated TTF as a STAR Network Depot to administer, develop policies and procedures, provide training and set up various donation and  distribution sites around the Southeast US.   This is now the TTF AT ReUse & Recyling Partnership program TTF Distribution Network.

In 2009, we opened TTF SC in Anderson, SC. serving the greater Upstate SC, Bordering GA and NC and serving all Anderson zip codes.   TTF SC Branch utilizes not only the programs already established at TTF GA and the TTF Distribution Network but also a developed community based network of partners to better serve individuals with Disabilities, Seniors, Veterans and Disadvantaged Individuals and Communities in the Greater Anderson Area, Upstate SC and Georgia & North Carolina Border Counties.
