About Us
Digital Promise is a global nonprofit working to expand opportunity for each learner. We work with educators, researchers, technology leaders, and communities to design, investigate, and scale up innovations that empower learners, especially those who’ve been historically and systematically excluded.

Our efforts are multifaceted and grounded in the real-world challenges facing learners and educators—from working to expand K-12 students’ access to high-speed internet, to providing adult learners with opportunities to earn micro-credentials that further their careers and secure their well-being.

What We Do
Our mission is to shape the future of learning and advance equitable education systems by bringing together solutions across research, practice, and technology.

Guided by our Impact Goals, we work to create big opportunities and tackle big challenges in education. Closing the Digital Learning Gap and unlocking the power of technology has long been a priority—but it’s not all we do:

• Our research seeks to generate knowledge that empowers learning across the lifespan, centering equity in our work and focusing on how digital technologies can enable Powerful Learning.
• Our national networks connect forward-thinking educators, researchers, students, and others to identify and address shared priorities and challenges.
• Our programs empower educators and communities with resources and support to move ideas about learning and equity from aspirational concepts to tried-and-true practices.
