We envision a world in which individuals have equitable access to information regardless of social status.

Our Mission

We develop and leverage technology by engaging community partners allowing for the equitable sharing of information thereby supporting improved individual and collective outcomes.

Projects: Innovation in Action

We joined forces with local community partners and are taking bold steps to proactively eliminate systemic barriers by leveraging technologies, tools, and resources to deliver seamless access to information and services for underserved communities. Some of our current partners include Micronaut Foundation, OpenDDS Foundation, multiple local social service organizations, educational institutions, and Object Computing, Inc.

Strategy: Opening Doors with Open Systems

Technology has the power to build bridges between community members and the organizations that support them. Open, interconnected systems equip service providers, policymakers, researchers, and community-based organizations with the critical information they need to provide the right level(s) of assistance in real-time.
