About the Foundation

A family's response to
the digital divide.

The Hastings Foundation was established to put working technology — and the support to use it — in the hands of people for whom it is still out of reach. In every neighborhood, there are families patching together access to a world that increasingly assumes everyone is online. Children who do their homework on a parent's phone. Elders who cannot schedule a doctor's appointment because the only path is a patient portal. Job seekers who have to ask for paper applications no one prints anymore.

The foundation works quietly and locally, in partnership with schools, senior centers, and community organizations, to identify the households where a working laptop and a little patient training would meaningfully change daily life — and then we make sure those households get them.

The people we serve are not statistics. Every interaction is private, respectful, and on their terms. The Hastings Family

Our Values

Dignity First. The people we serve are not statistics. Every interaction is private, respectful, and on their terms.

Working Hardware. Every device we place is tested, cleaned, and ready to use — not someone's e-waste with a charity sticker.

Real Support. Hardware without help is barely better than no hardware. We stay involved as long as we are useful.

Local Roots. We invest in our own communities first, where we can show up in person.

How we are funded

The foundation is funded entirely by private gifts and equipment donations. Administrative costs are absorbed by the family so that every donated dollar reaches a beneficiary. Further details on governance and finances are available on our stewardship page.
