The Loyalty Foundation is a nonprofit based out of NYC that “provides funding and programming for STEM and Technology-based educational opportunities to underserved K-12 youth populations.” The Loyalty Foundation views technology to be “the great opportunity equalizer of the future” and values the way education “creates pathways for positive change and rising futures.” In pursuit of narrowing the digital divide, they run four programs: Gaming4Good, Open Minds, Learn2Code, and Devices4All. “By inspiring and instilling a love of technology…” their website reads, “…we help students develop the knowledge, skills and self-esteem they need to succeed in today and tomorrow’s economy.” Devices4All was created in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and how the pandemic has exacerbated already existing disparities in access to education and technology. Devices4All provides refurbished computers to students living in poverty across the country, making sure they can participate fully in online learning. In 2020, the Ascienzo Family Foundation worked with ambassador Jonni Mills to grant the Loyalty Foundation $7,500, which will help the program deliver 50 computers to 50 students in 11 weeks. The Ascienzo Family Foundation is thrilled to be able to partner with them in a time of great need.
