We can change the world when we change our approach to technology.

About us

We're a community of nonprofit professionals who recognize that technology is integral to our work and lives. We've seen firsthand in our communities that access to technology and using it effectively is a consistent barrier across all forms of inequity. Together we can dismantle existing systems of oppression and create new ways for our organizations to approach technology strategically and deploy it in racially equitable ways.

How do we respond to a changing world as nonprofit professionals? How do we navigate the threat of job insecurity? This candid and wide-ranging conversation will leave you with a more considered approach to AI inclusion in our sector.

    🔟 This year's Digital Inclusion Fellowship marks a decade of supporting local nonprofits with running digital inclusion programs in their communities. #DIW2024 🏗️ Our goal has not been to create new organizations solely focused on digital inclusion but rather to integrate these programs into the existing missions and services of organizations that community members already rely on for support. We have had fellows from a diverse array of organizations, including libraries, public housing authorities, adult literacy organizations, immigrant and refugee service agencies, parent centers, and many others. 💻 Over this decade, we are proud to have supported 153 fellows across 22 regions, who have provided 130,088 hours of training and distributed over 5,800 devices in their communities in total. 💭 In this latest article published by the Fellowship's founding partner, Google Fiber, CEO Amy Sample Ward reflects on the lessons learned about digital inclusion and running this Fellowship for a decade. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e5BxXuRi

    It's Digital Inclusion Week! 🛜 As we highlight the crucial need to bridge digital equity gaps this week, we are amplifying the important work done by our Digital Inclusion Fellows in their communities, including our newest cohort, who kicked off their fellowship just two weeks ago. As we look at the history of the DIF on #DIW2024, a huge shout out Daniel Ryne Lucio, who pioneered the first National Day of Digital Inclusion as a part of his DIF project in 2015. 🌟

    The latest NTEN Nonprofit Digital Investments Report hits on a challenge I’ve seen countless times working with Hillels: nonprofits are underinvesting in tech, and staff don’t seem to have the training they need to actually use it well. So it’s not just about buying the right tools (they often don’t know which ones to buy). It’s also about giving teams what they need to make the most of them — and having sound policies and procedures particularly around data management. For small nonprofits especially, setting sound tech budgets is almost an afterthought — often a small carve-out from general operating funds. That means tech decisions tend to be short-term, and it’s the same story when it comes to training. I’ve seen how this plays out — whether it’s in struggling to track donor data, program metrics, or governance reports. When systems aren’t talking to each other, it makes our jobs harder and slows everything down. But it doesn’t have to be that way. We need to start thinking more critically about how we’re funding and prioritizing tech investments. I’m curious: how is your organization approaching these tech challenges?

    🔟 Our tenth cohort of the Digital Inclusion Fellowship kicked off today with the orientation in Portland, Oregon. 🛜 Fellows are sharing what digital inclusion means in their communities and brainstorming the projects they will undertake over the next year. 🤝🏽 The principles of equity, inclusion, and collaboration are thriving in this room!

    • A group photo of the DIF cohort and NTEN staff at the orientation. Twenty people stand facing the camera and smiling.
    • A group of people sit scattered in a conference room with their laptops. They are looking up at Tristan, an NTEN staff member at the far corner of the room, as he speaks. There is a large screen in the front of the room with the words "How does digital inclusion impact your community?"

    The rush of hitting submit—it’s a feeling I can never shake! For the third time, I’m serving on the session selection committee for NTEN’s Nonprofit Technology Conference (NTC), and let me tell you, the process is just as thrilling as submitting my own proposals. Why? Because every proposal is an opportunity to be seen, heard, and challenged. Every time I hit the button, it feels like I’m laying a piece of myself out there for the world—and I love every second of it. If you’ve been thinking about submitting your session idea, this is your sign! Whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth, now is the time to share your insights, passions, and hard-earned lessons. The deadline is September 27th, and trust me, NTEN’s community is the absolute best. They want what you’ve got to offer. Check out my latest blog post where I dive into the emotional whirlwind of submitting-- Read it here: https://lnkd.in/eHTfDAZ3 #25NTC #NTEN #Nonprofit #SubmitYourIdea #Conference #ProfessionalDevelopment
