Bridging Tech is a nonprofit based in San Mateo, California, dedicated to narrowing the digital divide for K-12 students experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity. It provides educational opportunities and technology by distributing devices and offering tutoring and mentorship. Since its founding in April 2020 by two female co-founders at Stanford University, the organization has delivered 6,000 computers and provided more than 500 tutoring and mentorship hours. The founding context cites the shift to virtual learning during the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing racial inequities as catalysts for its work. Its beneficiaries are K-12 students facing homelessness or housing insecurity, and donors seeking to give used devices are also engaged in its efforts. The organization operates with a dispersed, remote team across the United States and beyond, reflecting a flexible, nationwide footprint.
