"The On It Foundation receives hundreds of requests for computers daily – validating the Digital Divide is ongoing. If there is one computer in the home, our research has found that the demographic impact reach includes all individuals in the home, possibly the neighbor and those coming to that home to use the computer. And with over 30% of our current workforce remote, and many educational institutions also offering remote learning; our organization have seen a tremendous reduction in donated computers we provide to our K-12 recipients", states Ms. Phair. "Being agile to pivot and find creative strategies to obtain donated computers systems, is our organization's strength", Ms. Phair noted.

Navigating through the challenges of securing donated computers, we have implemented the following new initiatives for those within the United States wanting to gain Next Generation Technology (NGT):

The pace of technological change in today's economy has never been greater, according to The On It Foundation. "The marketplace in the 21^st century will add over 20 million jobs to the American economy. Our mission is to help educate our young people to fill them," Ms. Phair said. "Students without computers and STEAM education will not be able to compete academically with other students who have access to technology in the home. The On It Foundation is working to bridge this technology gap through its mission to provide free computers and 21^st Century skill sets to under-served households with children in grades K-12 that meet the required income guidelines."
