What does CDI do?

• We collect and showcase the knowledge of nonprofits, libraries, and tech activists

• We help these groups connect online and offline

• We learn from them to modify our programs, offerings, and solutions

When the right solution exists, we help them find it. When it doesn’t, we help them create it.
