Measure X Innovation Fund: Tech Exchange Digital Inclusion Program

We’re excited to announce that Tech Exchange’s Digital Inclusion Program is now featured on the Contra Costa County website as part of their spotlight on impactful Innovation Fund grantees!  


We’re proud to be part of a movement that’s transforming lives in Contra Costa County, thanks to the visionary support of the Innovation Fund, powered by Measure X. Through this investment in community-led solutions, Contra Costa County is fostering a future where opportunity, equity, and innovation go hand in hand. Tech Exchange is honored to be among those highlighted. As we continue to grow our reach, this moment marks an exciting step forward in

sharing our mission of digital equity with even more counties and communities.



Our Digital Inclusion Program


Many residents in the Bay Area continue to face barriers to accessing the technology they need for school, work, and everyday life. Our goal is to remove those barriers by offering sustainable, community-powered solutions, ensuring everyone has the tools they need to succeed in today’s digital era. 


During a recent visit to our warehouse, the Contra Costa County team saw firsthand how we prepare laptops for redistribution - every device carefully tested, cleaned, and made ready to empower a new user.

 

They also visited our Oakland TecHub and learned how our bilingual tech support and free 8-hour digital literacy workshops benefited community members and empowered them to digital freedom. 


This recognition highlights our continued efforts to bridge the digital divide by providing low-cost, refurbished devices, multilingual digital skills training, and STEM internship opportunities to communities that need them most.


We’re incredibly grateful to Contra Costa County for uplifting our work and helping us expand our mission. Their feature brings visibility to the importance of digital equity - and to the lives being changed by access to these tools and training.


Thank you for continuing to believe in a more connected, inclusive future. We look forward to bringing our mission to even more counties and communities across the Bay Area and beyond!


Check out our feature on the Contra Costa County website and see how your support is helping us expand access, equity, and opportunity—one device at a time.

For our intimate desert dinner experience, event planner Marrakech Hello Moments & Co transformed the dunes into a magical setting. They arranged handcrafted Berber carpets, low lantern tables, and a private gourmet feast prepared by a renowned local chef. Their on-site team anticipated every need—water refills, temperature adjustments, and even late-night camel rides—ensuring our guests felt pampered and secure in the vast landscape. The result was an immersive celebration that exceeded every expectation.
