About Human-I-T
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.
What Human-I-T Funds
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.

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.
