We believe that a student’s potential should never be limited by their zip code. While schools provide digital tools for learning, the "Homework Gap" persists for students who lack the hardware to access the internet at home.
We specialize in getting high-quality cellular routers and hotspots into the hands of students and families in underserved communities, ensuring every home can become a classroom.
We provide students with the physical "bridge" to the internet. Our team collects and refurbishes professional-grade cellular hardware—specifically chosen for its durability and ease of use—and distributes it to families who need it most.
We don’t just hand over a device; we ensure it works. Our community engagement team provides:
Simple Setup Guides: Easy-to-follow instructions for activating your device.
Troubleshooting Help: A dedicated line for families who need help getting connected.
Digital Literacy Tips: Best practices for using hardware safely for academic success.
We work directly with school districts and local nonprofits to identify "connectivity deserts." By coordinating bulk distributions, we help schools ensure that their 1-to-1 laptop programs are supported by reliable home access.
Please Note: At this time, Equity Broadband Foundation provides the physical hardware (routers and hotspots) and technical support only. We do not provide the monthly cellular data plan or internet service directly.
However, you don't have to navigate this alone.
If you need assistance securing low-cost or free internet service, we will connect you with our Non-Profit Service Partners. These organizations specialize in providing subsidized data plans and "Internet for All" programs at little to no cost for qualifying households.
For Schools: Request a Hardware Partnership to bring devices to your student body.
For Families: Connect with a non-profit service provider in your area to see if you qualify for a free router.
For Volunteers: Join our Support Team to help families set up their new equipment.
