Future of Work Accelerator

A program of HP Inc. and the HP Foundation

Digital Equity Accelerator

About the Accelerator

In an increasingly digital world, people without access to technology and the skills to use it are often locked out of economic opportunity. The Accelerator helps scale the impact of organizations that are working to change this.  
Since 2022, the Accelerator has served 35 nonprofit organizations across 13 countries, helping them reach an additional 11.3 million people.  

As a joint initiative of HP and the HP Foundation, the Accelerator offers selected organizations USD $100,000 in capacity-building grants, HP technology (~USD$100,000 value), and a six-month, virtual program designed to build capacity and scale solutions.  
Exciting changes are ahead for the 5th year of the Accelerator. In 2026, the Accelerator will be: 
- Open to both nonprofits and for-profits 
- Focused on AI and the future of work 
- Based in the U.S.
