Inspiredu: Working to close the digital divide in Georgia
Inspiredu is a Georgia-based non-profit working to bridge the gaps in device ownership, digital literacy, and digital access by providing Georgia’s most marginalized and vulnerable citizens with the devices and training they need to become a part of the global internet community. In Inspiredu’s digital skilling workshops, participants learn fundamental technical skills such as operating the computer and accessing the internet, practicing internet safety, using basic software such as Microsoft Office, understanding how to use technology to increase financial wellness or acquire certifications to bolster work readiness, and understanding how to use online resources to support student learning. The communities that Inspiredu serves, both rural and urban, are families of meager or lower incomes who lack the devices and training necessary to take advantage of recent broadband initiatives in Georgia.

Together, we can close the Digital Divide.
Inspiredu is pleased to announce that a generous community development grant awarded last year from Truist Charitable Fund (TCF) has been renewed for a second year. This grant has been a significant step toward helping us bridge the digital divide. TCF is a donor-advised fund administered by the Winston-Salem Foundation and part of the Truist Community Catalyst Initiative, a multiyear strategic partnership aimed at addressing some of Georgia’s most pressing community needs.
