The DiTi Foundation
We believe accesschanges everything.
Building equitable digital access, free skills training, and inclusive innovation ecosystems — for low-income communities, small businesses, and nonprofits across the United States.
What we do
Four focus areas.
One shared mission.
Every program we run falls within one of four areas where technology transforms lives.
Digital Inclusion
Digital Inclusion
Getting online shouldn't depend on your zip code.
Millions of Americans — in rural counties, inner cities, and low-income neighborhoods — still lack affordable internet access or the devices to use it. We place community technology hubs directly in those areas, providing free or low-cost access, devices, and the support to use them effectively.

Skills & Talent
Skills & Talent
Real skills for people the system left behind.
Being priced out of training is as much a barrier as being priced out of a device. We offer free and subsidized digital skills programs — from basic computer literacy to job-ready certifications — designed specifically for low-income adults, returning citizens, and communities historically excluded from the tech workforce.

AI & Innovation
AI & Innovation
AI that works for everyone — not just the well-funded.
AI is reshaping hiring, healthcare, credit, and housing — and underserved communities often bear the worst of its biases while having the least say in how it's built. We pilot responsible AI tools that address real needs in low-income communities, and we train community members to understand, use, and advocate around AI systems that affect their lives.

Policy & Governance
Policy & Governance
Closing the digital divide takes more than programs.
Individual programs can't fix systemic gaps. We work with city councils, state agencies, and federal policymakers to advance broadband equity legislation, digital rights protections, and funding frameworks that direct resources toward communities that need them most — not toward those who already have the loudest voice.
Policy & advocacy workOur impact
Real numbers.
Real communities.
We publish what we know and link to the source data. Figures are updated as reporting is verified.
All source data is in the impact dashboard and the annual report. Updated as reporting is verified.
Voices from the field
What community members say.
I run a small cleaning business out of South Chicago. I couldn't afford bookkeeping software or a website. DiTi helped me get online, set up scheduling tools, and now I'm growing — without going into debt to get there.

We serve seniors in a low-income housing complex. Half of them had no way to access telehealth or government benefits online. DiTi brought devices and training right to our building — it changed what we could offer our residents.

Community coordinator, East Los Angeles, CA
I was laid off and didn't know where to start with tech skills. The training program was free, flexible, and actually taught me things I could use on a job application the next week. I have a tech support role now.
