In 2022, the Digital Equity Accelerator set out to address these injustices by pursuing a singular goal: to accelerate equity in the digital economy for underrepresented and marginalized populations worldwide. The Digital Equity Accelerator, a program of Aspen Institute in collaboration with HP, fuels innovation and invests in non-profit leaders who are actively working to address the inequities that exist in technology access and use around the world. In its first year, the Accelerator successfully helped scale seven organizations in India, Morocco, and the United States, boosting their cumulative reach by 1.7 million people and counting.

In 2022, Ascend marked a decade of building a community of game changers who are listening to, learning from, and leading with families with low incomes.
