History

CompuMentor was born in 1987 after current president Daniel Ben-Horin discovered The Well, the first community on the web. He proposed "to help those who needed it, and they accepted." Officially called The CompuMentor Project, it began with 2,500 dollars and volunteers of the highest quality. Today, CompuMentor has over 80 employees, an annual budget of over $9 million, and assists tens of thousands of non-profits in the United States and throughout the global community.
