Why this exists

Homeschooling still requires access.

Curriculum platforms, research, virtual instruction, educational software, and everyday schoolwork increasingly depend on technology.

For some families, the barrier is a broken laptop, one computer shared among several children, or no usable device at all.

The Digital Access Grant exists to help remove that barrier.

What the need can look like

Six children.
One computer.

One family shared that six children were trying to homeschool using a single household computer.

When several learners depend on one device, the technology becomes something the whole family has to work around.

Sometimes the laptop is the easiest problem to solve.

Who can apply

The grant is open to homeschooling families.

If technology is creating a barrier to learning in your household, you can apply. When resources are limited, we prioritize families experiencing higher levels of need.

Special education learners

Priority may be given where technology is especially important for learning, communication, accessibility, or support needs.

Single-parent households

We consider the additional financial and logistical pressure that can come with one parent carrying the household’s educational and technology needs.

Financial need

Priority may be given when purchasing or replacing a device would create significant financial hardship for the household.

These are priorities, not eligibility requirements.

The Digital Access Grant is open to homeschooling families experiencing a technology need. Prioritization helps us decide how to use limited devices when demand exceeds what we can provide.

How it works

You apply once.
We work on the rest.

You do not need to submit separate applications for different device sources or fulfillment partners.

01

Tell us what you need.

A parent or guardian completes one application with information about the household, students, current technology access, and circumstances.

02

We review the application.

Applications are reviewed based on technology need, urgency, household circumstances, available inventory, funding, and fulfillment options.

03

We identify a path.

We collect new and gently used laptops and other technology devices, purchase devices when funding allows, and work with technology partners.

04

We contact you.

When we identify a device or fulfillment path that can serve your household, we reach out with next steps.

05

The device is shipped.

Devices awarded through the Digital Access Grant are shipped directly to selected families at no cost to them.

One application. Different paths.

Where the technology comes from can vary.

That flexibility helps us serve families in more places, even when inventory or partner coverage changes.

Donated technology

We collect new and gently used laptops and other usable technology devices.

Purchased devices

Donations and grants can help us purchase technology when donated inventory is not available.

Technology partners

Partner organizations may help us fulfill requests in the places their programs can serve.

About the wait

We want you to know what to expect.

The number of families asking for help is currently much larger than the number of devices we can distribute. Applying does not guarantee a device or a specific timeline, and applications are not fulfilled strictly in the order they are received.

885+ families are waiting.
And the list grows every day.
Before you apply

A few things we want to be clear about.

We want families to understand the process before sharing personal information with us.

Apply once.

Submitting additional applications does not improve your place in the process.

There is no application fee.

Love Well Spent does not charge families to apply for the Digital Access Grant.

A device is not guaranteed.

Fulfillment depends on need, available technology, funding, geography, partner capacity, and other program considerations.

There is no guaranteed timeline.

We know waiting can be difficult. We will contact you if and when we identify a fulfillment path for your household.

Devices may vary.

Brand, model, age, appearance, specifications, and device type depend on available inventory.

Your story is yours.

Receiving help is not conditional on agreeing to publicity, sharing your story publicly, or appearing in Love Well Spent communications.
