Human-I-T is a social enterprise that bridges the digital divide by connecting people and communities with essential technology and digital resources. We transform e-waste into opportunities by refurbishing and redistributing devices, providing low-cost internet, digital literacy training, and tech support while diverting electronics from landfills.
Human-i-t’s recent giving is defined by a large device-focused transfer: $4,721,345 in 2024 to See Attachment A for desktops and laptops. That grant aligns with the foundation’s core work in digital inclusion, where refurbished technology, low-cost internet access, digital literacy, and technical support are used to help low-income people and underserved communities connect to online services. The most visible 2025 grants show the same pattern in a more targeted form. Black Tech Saturdays in Detroit received $175,000 for digital navigation for low-income residents, and Lansing Center The Disability Network in Lansing received $116,550 for the same purpose. Other recipients include community organizations, colleges, and tribal-serving groups, indicating a mix of direct device access and support services. Human-i-t operates as a public charity and regular funder, and its grantmaking is closely tied to technology reuse and e-waste diversion, with devices moving from disposition to redistribution rather than being treated as disposable inventory.
Digital navigation is a major theme in Human-i-t’s recent grants. In 2025, it gave $213,500 to SIHC Boys & Girls Club of Kumeyaay Nation Wellness in Alpine, California, for digital navigation for low-income households, and $152,500 to CSU Sacramento in Sacramento for the same purpose. Tribal-serving organizations also appear in the portfolio: California Tribal College received $113,500 in Sacramento, and Valley Center Rincon Band of Luiseño Indians received $76,250 in Valley Center. The foundation also funds education-linked access work; Indianapolis Public Schools received $64,050 in Indianapolis, and South Texas College Foundation received $61,000 in McAllen. Across these grants, the common thread is practical support for getting people connected to devices, internet access, and the skills needed to use them.
Human-i-t’s typical grant size sits in a fairly tight middle range: the 25th percentile is $7,917, the median is $12,863, and the 75th percentile is $25,000. The recent list also shows that the foundation uses both small service grants and much larger device-distribution awards, including one $4,721,345 grant in 2024 for desktops and laptops. The grant record shows repeat activity across years, with both 2023 and 2025 awards appearing in the recent list. Human-i-t is classified as a public charity and regular funder, and it accepts unsolicited requests through its technology donation and nonprofit membership programs.
