Greetings Headdoc:
I have located a few possibilities for your donations and I must
commend your choice to donate these programs. I believe that many
people will benefit from your generosity. :)
I found the Center for Instructional Technologies at
http://www.wgby.org/edu/cit/software.html where it is stated "New
software is always being added! If you or your company would like to
donate software to CIT, contact the director of CIT. We welcome your
support!"

******************
An article I found regarding software donations mentioned "...Boston
Aging Concern’s GrandFamilies® House, the first housing project in the
nation addressing the housing and social needs of grandparents raising
grandchildren, and Boston Community Centers, a unique network of
service facilities for city residents."
I then searched the contact info for the programs. My father is a
senior and senior citizen centers in general are an excellent place to
donate software. Most centers have a computer/Internet area for
self-training and easy web use.

The Boston Youth Zone at
http://www.bostonyouthzone.com/afterschool/communitycenters/default.asp
"Find out about the many programs that are available such as Youth
Alternative Education, Girls Programs, Youth Connections Programs,
Streetworker Program, GED Testing, Computer Learning Centers and BNBL"

the advice of my colleague Knowledge_Seeker-ga and search
Massachusetts for places you could donate. There, I located:
