Where It All Began
One Idea. A Bigger Purpose.
Strictli began in 2016, originally operating as Strictly Apple, with a straightforward goal: make quality technology affordable for people who otherwise might not have access to it.
We believed that buying technology shouldn't mean spending a fortune or sacrificing trust. By offering affordable pre-owned devices, we wanted to give more people the opportunity to stay connected, learn, work, and grow.
As the years went on, our business grew, our customers grew, and so did our appreciation for the communities that supported us along the way.
We realized that the impact of a business shouldn't be measured only by what it sells. It should also be measured by what it gives back.

Where Our Journey Started
A small idea centered on affordable technology became the foundation for Strictli and, eventually, the giving initiatives we support today.
The Heart of Our Mission
When Strictli Grows,
When Strictli Grows,
Giving Grows.
Every customer who chooses Strictli helps support the business behind our community initiatives. As our company becomes stronger, we have the opportunity to dedicate more resources to helping others. Business growth and community impact are connected by one shared purpose.
Why We Give Back
Success Means More When It's Shared.
The communities around us have played an important role in the Strictli story. They've supported our business, trusted our team, and helped us reach new milestones.
Giving back is one way we can show our appreciation. Whether it's helping a student prepare for the school year or making sure someone has a warm coat during winter, we believe meaningful acts of generosity can make a lasting difference.
That's why we created Strictli Giving: to bring our community efforts together under a mission that can continue growing alongside Strictli.
Our Philosophy
More Than a Technology Company.
We sell affordable technology, but we also believe in creating opportunities, supporting families, and helping build stronger communities.
Our goal isn't simply to grow a successful company. It's to use that success to do more good.

Before opening Strictli Giving to community contributions, our initiatives were funded entirely by Strictli. Here's some of what we've accomplished.

How Our Giving Is Funded
Our Business Helps Power Our Mission.
Strictli Giving is a community initiative operated by Strictli LLC. It was built around a simple idea: use the resources generated by our business to help the communities around us.
Until now, Strictli has funded our giving initiatives entirely through the business. From purchasing school supplies to supporting winter coat giveaways, these efforts have been made possible through company resources.
As Strictli grows, we want our community impact to grow with it. More customers, stronger business performance, and new opportunities can help us dedicate additional resources toward our giving programs.
We're also creating opportunities for customers, businesses, and community members to make voluntary contributions toward Strictli Giving. This additional support can help us reach more people and develop future initiatives.
We believe in being clear about who we are: Strictli Giving is part of Strictli LLC, not a separately represented nonprofit. Our mission is to turn business success and community support into meaningful local impact.
What We Believe
"The more we grow as a business, the more opportunities we have to give back to the people and communities that helped us get here."
