First Tech Fund

First Tech Fund is an award-winning 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to empowering low-income high school students in identifying, navigating, and attaining academic and professional opportunities. First Tech Fund was founded in May 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has amplified the pre-existing inequalities in technology access and education, especially for communities of color across America. 

Our theory of change is that if we provide students with a holistic set of services including career and college access support paired with mentorship, tech access, free unlimited internet access, and exposure to various career pathways, students will have a significantly higher chance of being successful in their respective fields, and encounter pathways that give them vision and desire to strive higher. Our program looks to address several issues students face so that the outcome is a trajectory-altering system of support that addresses many of their essential needs, instead of one, and works outside the traditional school system. If students don’t find the support or community at their respective school, they know they can find one with us. 

First Tech Fund is fundraising, accepting technology donations, and is open to nonprofit and corporate partnership opportunities.
