About the Accelerator

As society becomes more digital, people without access to technology and digital fluency are increasingly locked out of economic and social opportunities. The Digital Equity Accelerator helps nonprofits that are working to advance digital inclusion scale their impact. Since 2022, the Digital Equity Accelerator has served 27 nonprofit organizations across nine countries, helping expand the reach of participating organizations by more than 9.1 million. 

The Digital Equity Accelerator offers selected organizations USD $100,000 capacity-building grants, HP technology (~USD$100,000 value), and a six-month, virtual program including training, mentorship, and technical consultations, designed to help strengthen capacity and scale digital equity impact. In 2025, the Digital Equity Accelerator will focus on supporting nonprofits in Greece, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Spain.
