Closing the digital divide with access, aspiration, and education


While many leading nonprofits help bridge the digital divide by providing free laptops or basic tech training, The Loyalty Foundation goes further—combining access with aspiration and education to ensure lasting impact.


As a national nonprofit, The Loyalty Foundation stands out with three scalable, integrated pillar programs designed to make sure students not only have the tools but also the skills and confidence to thrive in a digital-first economy:


1. Devices4All®

The foundation’s flagship initiative has distributed nearly 2,300 free refurbished Chromebooks to students without a computer at home, reaching 28 communities across 13 states. This removes a major barrier to academic success, creativity, and future job readiness.


2. Esports

Organized esports leagues provide more than after-school fun—they’re a strategic gateway to teaching teamwork, computer literacy, and pathways into digital careers. Students learn coaching, game design, live commentary, and event production. Each esports hub leaves behind a fully equipped lab that schools and local partners can continue to use for additional tech programming.


3. Tech & AI Education

Programs like Learn2Code, Gaming4Good, AI Explorers, and Introduction to Vibe Coding (the latter two of which we are rolling out in fall 2025) offer hands-on experiences with prompt engineering, machine learning, and chatbot creation—equipping students with the skills to navigate and shape the technologies driving tomorrow’s economy.


Why It Matters Research consistently shows that out-of-school programming plays a crucial role in closing opportunity gaps for students. By pairing device access with engaging, career-relevant learning, The Loyalty Foundation complements the work of classroom teachers and district leaders alike.


Our Mission The Loyalty Foundation helps children and their families understand the self-empowerment that access to technology and digital education unlocks. This leads to steady employment and well-paying jobs that uplift families and entire communities. It also inspires students to think creatively—showing them real paths to become the next entrepreneur, video producer, game creator, or anything else they dream of being.


A Proven Track Record Our success would not be possible without grants from mission-aligned partners who share our vision of leveling the playing field and inspiring a love of technology. All grants to date have been renewed, thanks to the impact we’ve delivered for students and communities with the initial funds.


Join Us! Closing the digital divide is more than charity—it’s an investment in the future workforce, economy, and civic life of the nation. For communities ready to partner, donors ready to invest, and educators seeking proven models, The Loyalty Foundation offers an invitation: help make equal opportunity in the digital age a reality.
