HP Digital Equity Accelerator 2025 (up to $100,000) Deadline: 12 February, 2025

Applications are open for the HP Digital Equity Accelerator 2025. As society becomes more digital, people without access to technology and digital fluency are increasingly locked out of economic and social opportunities. The Digital Equity Accelerator helps nonprofits that are working to advance digital inclusion scale their impact.

Since 2022, the Digital Equity Accelerator has served 27 nonprofit organizations across nine countries, helping expand the reach of participating organizations by more than 8.1 million. In 2025, the Digital Equity Accelerator will focus on supporting nonprofits in Greece, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Spain.

Benefits

• The Digital Equity Accelerator offers selected organizations USD $100,000 capacity-building grants, HP technology (~USD$100,000 value), and a six-month, virtual program including training, mentorship, and technical consultations, designed to help strengthen capacity and scale digital equity impact. 

Eligibility

• Local nonprofits and NGOs that are working to advance digital equity in Greece, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Spain are invited to apply for the 2025 program.
• Hold active legal registration as a not-for-profit organization.
• Be capable of receiving funding from a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) organization.
• Perform majority of work in support of people and communities in Greece, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Spain.
• Be committed to advancing more inclusive and equitable access to education and economic opportunities.
• Focus primarily on equipping historically disconnected youth and adults with critical skills needed to participate and thrive in an increasingly digital economy.
• Currently reach at least 10,000 beneficiaries (direct and/or indirect) through the work that would be further scaled through the Accelerator program. Participants with any level of direct interaction/engagement in your program may be counted as a direct beneficiary. Individuals who are not interacting directly with your program, but who are served by the skills and knowledge acquired by your direct participants may be counted as indirect beneficiaries.
• Assign a primary contact for the Accelerator program that possesses fluency in English (note: The Accelerator program curriculum, mentoring, and communications are delivered in English language only).
• The rise of generative AI is transforming the future of work, at risk of leaving those without fluent digital skills behind and further exacerbating the digital divide. Therefore, we particularly encourage organizations with AI solutions that advance digital equity and strive to address the growing disparity to apply.
