Workshop #3 - Digital Access and Devices: Scaling the Work Domestically and Internationally with Corporate and Nonprofit Partners
About The Workshop Series: Regardless of a funder’s mission, addressing the pressing concerns of digital access touches everything we do as a society. Funders with missions in education, theater, arts, culture, civic engagement, democracy, advocacy, climate, health and wellness, workforce, vital services, government services, financial services, economic competitiveness, supporting underserved and underrepresented populations, diversity, equity, inclusion and more all have expanding digital access needs. The Patterson Foundation’s Digital Access for All initiative (DA4A) began with a multi-sector learning journey, exploring how thought leaders, government, businesses and nonprofits operate and invest in the digital access space. After speaking to over 30 funders across the country, TPF set out to unearth the strategies, approaches, successes, and challenges, and most importantly, to discover who else cares. On the heels of our findings, we are delighted to co-host pioneers in digital access who are raising the bar in what’s possible during a special Funder-to-Funder Workshop. 

About This Session: The gate of entry to Digital Access is through a device. If members of society lack devices, the digital divide will perpetuate. Devices have become essential to Education, Theater, Arts, Culture, Civic Engagement, Democracy, Advocacy, Climate, Health and Wellness, Workforce, Vital Services, Government Services, Financial Services, Economic Competitiveness, Supporting Underserved and Underrepresented Populations, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and more. While funders continue to invest in organizations that give away free, new or refurbished machines, or sell devices at a low cost to those in need, the need for devices still disproportionately outweighs resources available to people, organizations, and communities.

To explore Devices and Philanthropy further, The Patterson Foundation (TPF) in partnership with The Campaign for Grade-Level Reading (CGLR) will be hosting a Funder to Funder Workshop on Digital Access and Devices: Scaling the work Domestically and Internationally with Corporate and Nonprofit Partners, featuring:
  • Kirsten Young, Director, Sustainability Programs, American Tower Corporation
  • Karrin Smoley, Sr. Director, Community Impact, Charter Communications
  • Scot Henley, Executive Director, Digitunity
Join us for a powerful Funder to Funder Workshop on Digital Access and Devices: Scaling the work Domestically and Internationally with Corporate and Nonprofit Partners!

Date: Tuesday, January 31st, 2023 – 12:30pm - 1:45pm EST
