This fall, The Knowledge House las launched a public fundraiser, the Fellowship Campaign, to raise $500,000 to fund 100 aspiring Black and Brown technologists from the Bronx on their journey to economic independence. Since the pandemic, applications for the Innovation Fellowship have increased by 200%, while unemployment has risen to 25% in the Bronx, the borough hit the hardest by COVID-19. In response, The Knowledge House has expanded our digital training program and enhanced our support services for students to include cash assistance, laptops and internet access.

By making a contribution today, you can give a young person from the Bronx the opportunity to pursue a meaningful and rewarding career that will change the course of their life forever. Your gift supports our fellows so they can persist through our 12-month program and on to graduation while supporting themselves and their families through the pandemic.
(See our donation levels below.)

Finally, as part of the Fellowship Campaign, The Knowledge House is hosting a series of fundraising events for our community.
