The Patterson Foundation's National Philanthropy Scan Workshop #1: Discovering Pathways for Astonishing Success in Connectivity — October 4, 2022

Regardless of a funder’s mission, addressing the pressing concerns of digital access touches everything we do as a society. Funders with missions in education, theater, arts, culture, civic engagement, democracy, advocacy, climate, health and wellness, workforce, vital services, government services, financial services, economic competitiveness, supporting underserved and underrepresented populations, diversity, equity, inclusion and more all have expanding digital access needs. The Patterson Foundation’s Digital Access for All initiative (DA4A) began with a multi-sector learning journey, exploring how thought leaders, government, businesses and nonprofits operate and invest in the digital access space. After speaking to over 30 funders across the country, TPF set out to unearth the strategies, approaches, successes, and challenges, and most importantly, to discover who else cares. On the heels of our findings, we are delighted to join the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading in co-hosting pioneers in digital access who are raising the bar in what’s possible during a special Funder-to-Funder Workshop.
