In today’s rapidly advancing technological world, many seniors and nonprofit organizations find it challenging to keep up. To address this issue, the Philly Made Us Foundation is launching two significant initiatives aimed at bridging the digital divide and empowering local communities with the tools and technology they need to thrive, including opportunities for Microsoft Technology Grants.

The Philly Made Us Foundation is excited to announce a new partnership opportunity for local nonprofits. This initiative aims to help these organizations set up their Microsoft technology grants, providing them with the necessary tools to achieve their mission and make a positive impact in the community.
