Probably not, but check the regional groups ( 
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_United_States#Oegon and maybe others?) in 
your area.

http://www.laptopgiving.org/en/group-giving.php and 
http://laptop.org/en/participate/give-many.shtml indicate that if you 
can get funds for 100 laptops, "you can designate where they go".

If you don't have the $20,000, there's a wiki page somewhere that talks 
about the downsides of just showing up to local officials with a pet 
project, but I can't find it.
