    Our Model

    The Digital Equity Accelerator is a multi-year effort led by Aspen Digital, a program of the Aspen Institute, in collaboration with HP Inc. This project fuels innovation by investing in not-for-profit organizations and NGOs that are working to advance social and economic equality in their local communities by accelerating digital inclusion. 

    Founded in 2022, the Accelerator helps to scale digital equity efforts for marginalized and underserved populations, (including women and girls; ethnic, racial, and religious minority communities; aging populations; and people with disabilities), namely in the areas of economic opportunity, healthcare and education.

    In its first year, the effort successfully helped scale seven organizations in India, Morocco, and the United States, boosting their cumulative reach by 1.7 million people and counting.
