Education & Resources
Creating equitable access to education, technology skills, and economic mobility.
At IIF, education is the starting point for opportunity. We design programs that help women, students, and families gain the knowledge, tools, and confidence they need to participate in a rapidly changing digital world.
Our work focuses on three core areas. Women’s entrepreneurship, youth education, and support for families experiencing homelessness. Across each program, we connect learning with real pathways to economic development.
Who We Serve and Why
Our programs support communities that have been historically excluded from educational and technological advancement. We prioritize women entrepreneurs who need business readiness support. We invest in K12 and college age students who require early exposure to digital skills and innovation. We assist families experiencing homelessness who need education and access to technology in order to regain stability.
These groups often face barriers related to income, access, or environment. We serve them because equitable access to education and technology is essential to long term economic mobility and community resilience.
