ZoomInfo Platform Empowers Digital Wish to Aid Students Without Home Internet Access During Pandemic
Delivers Contact Data on 1,200 Companies to Help Nonprofit Address Digital Divide
Digital Wish is connecting 1 million students with mobile hotspots and laptops while they learn from home during the pandemic.
The organization kicked off its Connect A Student campaign earlier this year after the pandemic closed schools, which left more than 10 million students nationwide struggling to learn remotely in homes with no internet connectivity. Through Connect A Student, corporations and individuals can help solve the digital divide by donating hotspots, donating money, recycling used IT equipment, and participating in social media challenges to raise funding.
With access to ZoomInfo’s corporate contact data, the Digital Wish philanthropy and outreach teams were easily able to speak directly with 1,200 companies to raise awareness and recruit support for the initiative.
“ZoomInfo saved our research and marketing teams months of time and energy,” said
“As many schools nationwide have again transitioned to online learning, it’s become even more important that we do whatever we can to enable all the students in this country to continue their education,” said
