Selected non-profit organisations are helping accelerate digital equity in Brazil, Canada, and Poland for historically disconnected groups.
HP Inc. and the HP Foundation announced the selection of ten non-profit organisations in Brazil, Canada, and Poland for the 2024 Digital Equity Accelerator (Accelerator). The Accelerator will provide the 2024 cohort with a $100,000 grant (€94,000), HP technology (~$100,000 value), and six months of virtual training to foster digital inclusion.
“We are so honoured to stand alongside these incredible organizations in our collective mission to address the global digital divide that limits billions from achieving equal access and opportunity to educational, healthcare, and economic opportunities,” said Michele Malejki, Global Head of Social Impact, HP Inc. and Director, HP Foundation. “The Accelerator is designed to serve as a catalyst, fast-tracking these already remarkable initiatives to strengthen capacity and expand digital inclusion in local communities to create a more equitable world.”
The Accelerator helps non-profits scale digital equity programs and initiatives serving communities that are often or have been traditionally excluded. Since 2022, the Accelerator has helped expand the reach of 17 non-profit organisations in India, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, South Africa, and the U.S. by more than 8.1 million people.
