About give IT. get IT.
Give IT. get IT. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2002 to promote digital inclusion—ensuring everyone has access to technology and the skills to thrive in today’s digital economy. We believe access to technology is a fundamental right, yet over 38% of Americans lack consistent internet access, computers, or the necessary skills. Cost, fear, lack of training, and limited support create significant barriers, particularly for low-income individuals, students, seniors, and rural communities.
Why Digital Inclusion Matters
Digital inclusion is not just a matter of convenience, it’s a necessity. Job applications, school assignments, and vital services like Medicare Part D are increasingly online. Proficiency in software, social media, and online financial tools is becoming a requirement, not a luxury. The digital divide is a pressing issue that we must address now.
How give IT. get IT. Achieves Digital Inclusion
We recognize that a computer and internet access are just the starting point. True digital inclusion requires training, support, and the confidence to use technology effectively. give IT. get IT. focuses on providing these crucial elements, empowering individuals to make informed decisions and overcome the obstacles that prevent them from fully participating in the digital world.
