ABOUT US
OUR STORY
E2D was founded out of two simple questions that an enlightened 12-year-old girl asked her parents back in October 2012:
-
How can all kids in our school do their homework and projects successfully if some of their families cannot afford to own digital technology?
-
What are we going to do about it?
This young girl, Franny Millen, decided that the digital divide between those who have computers at home and those who do not was an unacceptable social inequity…and one that must be resolved.
Franny is still committed to digital opportunity work. She graduated from Kenyon College in 2022 and returned to work as our Impact Coordinator. We are so proud of her!

Her two questions have led to hundreds of discussions led by thousands of community activists – municipal leaders, college students, corporate and foundation supporters and civic volunteers – that has resulted in a digital revolution that will not be declared victorious until every family has access to computers and the internet in their homes.
Since 2013, E2D has worked with 170 schools in the Charlotte Mecklenburg School (CMS) system, and over 171 nonprofit partners. As of October 2025, more than 63,000 families have bridged the digital divide using laptops provided by E2D
Students who had faced systemic barriers to academic success are now using their new laptops to engage more fully with their education and close opportunity gaps, joining their peers in thriving learning environments
