Three pillars, one purpose.
Every TAG program removes a barrier between a person and their potential — digital, economic, or health. The same communities appear on the wrong side of all three divides, which is why we work on them together.
Digital Equity & Future Skills
The barrier: 2.2 billion people are offline worldwide, and ITU identifies affordability and skills as the defining divides that remain (ITU, Facts and Figures 2025). Internet use reaches just 23% of people in low-income countries versus 94% in high-income countries. In the United States, roughly one in four school-age children lives in a household without broadband or a web-enabled device (NEA), and one in three Black, Latino, and Native American households lacks high-speed home internet (All4Ed).
Pillar 1
Device access and digital literacy; technology education from foundations through advanced skills; AI readiness and cybersecurity training; workforce development with employer-recognized outcomes.
AI, robotics & cybersecurity training delivered with network partners in the USA, India, and Africa since 2023 — and Project Neon Shield, our flagship 100-student workforce program launching in 2026. Explore Neon Shield →
Vocational training tied to real labor-market demand; small-business and entrepreneurship support; financial-stability programming through community partners.
Through TAG's community partner organizations, combining grant funding with mentorship from the TAG professional network — workforce outcomes are the mechanism that converts digital access into durable economic mobility.
Pillar 2
Economic Empowerment
The barrier: Income instability compounds every other gap. Four in ten U.S. families earning under $25,000 lack high-speed home internet (All4Ed), locking them out of the modern job market — and globally, broadband remains unaffordable in roughly 60% of low- and middle-income countries (ITU 2025). Households can't self-fund the access and training that would raise their earning power: a self-reinforcing loop that philanthropy can break.
Health-access events, screenings, and health education are delivered through partner clinics and community organizations.
Partner delivery keeps TAG's role within its competence — funding, coordination, and volunteers — while specialist clinical organizations do what they do best.
Pillar 3
Health & Human Dignity
The barrier: A person's potential should never be limited by their access to care. Underserved communities — in the U.S. and worldwide — face persistent gaps in preventive care, screenings, and health education, and prevention is the highest-return health intervention per dollar for community-scale funders.
Flagship
