Powering Social Justice Through Digital Equity
We are a grantmaker, partner, and technology collaborator working to narrow the digital divide, seek social justice, and empower people to equitably participate in today’s society.
We are on a mission to help historically marginalized people step across the digital divide by funding digital equity initiatives and unexpected opportunities that enable affordable internet access and advance social justice.

Why We Exist
Today, the digital divide prevents many historically marginalized people from tapping into the modern digital world. They’re unable to take part in civil and democratic activities. They can’t access important services, connect with friends and loved ones, or experience what’s happening in arts, culture, and entertainment. Students without online access can’t access classroom materials required to complete their homework. Wherever the internet is commonplace, people without access are keenly aware of being sidelined.
Full participation in the digital world empowers people to:
Be more involved in modern civil society and culture
Engage in the democratic process as a part of an informed electorate
Play an active role in overcoming systemic inequity
Elevate themselves in every aspect of their lives
Focus Areas
Our work is centered on three primary strategies that we find most closely align with our experience and areas of expertise.
