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.

OCTOBER 7, 2022 - On the heels of a four-month Digital Equity Accelerator, hosted by Aspen Digital in collaboration with HP Inc., this event highlighted the importance of digital inclusion and premiered the work of seven groundbreaking nonprofits – in the US, India, and Morocco – working to promote education, healthcare, and economic opportunity through digital innovation.

There are dedicated groups accelerating digital equity for their communities around the world. Over the past four months, Aspen Digital has been training 7 groundbreaking nonprofits to scale their efforts to close the tech gap for marginalized and underserved populations. Get to know these outstanding organizations, and join us on October 7 for a virtual event to hear their stories.

A new law requiring electronic filing of the Form 990 goes into effect this year, and thousands of nonprofit organizations will be e-filing for the first time. To help organizations navigate the e-filing process, PSI has created an introductory e-filing brochure.

Making 990 data searchable and available for free to the public has revolutionized nonprofit information and scholarship by massively reducing costs and increasing efficiency. Researchers, nonprofits, government regulators, and journalists are using previously inaccessible data to further transparency, educate donors, advance knowledge, and fuel innovation.
