As the year draws to a close and many consider where to direct their charitable giving, we invite you to look closely at The Loyalty Foundation—a 501(c)(3) public charity founded in 2019 by former Manhattan Assistant District Attorney David Neeman.
Our Mission
“Bridging the digital divide to joyfully empower today’s youth to dream, strive and thrive in tomorrow’s digital economy.”
The Loyalty Foundation provides free laptop computers and Out of School Time (OST) esports and technology education programs to K-12 students in under-resourced communities across the U.S.
By leveling the playing field and inspiring a love of technology, the foundation empowers students to develop the knowledge, skills, and self-esteem needed for a lifetime of success in the digital economy.
The Loyalty Foundation helps children and their parents recognize the power of technology and digital education as tools for self-empowerment. Access to these resources can open doors to steady employment and well-paying careers that uplift students and their families. Just as importantly, it inspires young people to think creatively—showing them real pathways to becoming entrepreneurs, video producers, game designers, or whatever they aspire to be.
