A national 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, Digitunity advances device ownership by sourcing computers and placing them in communities nationwide. Together with its predecessor organization, Digitunity has been working on this issue since the mid-1980s.
With the recent passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, communities across the United States have an opportunity to make that a reality. The device aspect of digital equity plans cannot be an afterthought. As states begin creating federally-mandated digital equity plans, it is imperative that plans include robust efforts to ensure individuals and families have ready access to free or low-cost computers. Digitunity’s framework for building sustainable systems to advance device ownership is in action in cities across the country. As a result, we are uniquely suited to support digital equity plan design and implementation, and we stand ready to collaborate on this important work.
