6 years ago , I was teaching technology from a laptop cart I built, Today we've delivered 300+ workshops reaching 10,000+ people.But here's what keeps me up at night: for every person we've reached, thousands more still see AI as something that's "not for them."
This Giving Tuesday, we're changing that, at RITE, we're building bridges to AI equity:
→ Get Grant Ready University: 30 graduates, $75K+ in grants secured
→ Pitch & Support Days: Supporting 20+ founders with capital and community
→ World Tech Day: Bringing innovators and community leaders together
→ AI Workshops: Google partnerships, Georgia DOE collaborations, and more
We're not gatekeeping AI.
We're removing barriers.
We're building the "Y Combinator for Nonprofits" - and we need you with us.
Your support today makes possible:
$50 - One workshop in an underserved community
$250 - AI literacy training for one organization
$500 - One GGRU scholarship
$1,000+ - Monthly Bridge Builder status
From Brooklyn classrooms to nationwide impact. From one laptop cart to 10,000+ people reached. This is what happens when we choose bridges over gates.
