We started as Massachusetts' NetDay organizers in 1996, mobilizing over 19,000 volunteers and attracting over $35 million in donations to help jump-start school wiring. Nearly two-thirds of Massachusetts' school districts participated in the campaign. We responded to educators' needs by expanding our focus from networks to include strategic planning, professional development, and curriculum.

We now work throughout New England with all educational institutions, primarily K-12 schools. We complement rather than compete with existing professional development and local technology planning efforts. Without losing our independence, we align and integrate ourselves with national and state efforts to make education reform a success.

We are an independent, nonprofit organization funded by federal and state grants and contracts, corporate donations, district contracts, and event fees. Over the years our supporters have included top business and union leaders as well as educators and government officials. Senator Edward M. Kennedy and Governor William F. Weld were our founding Honorary Co-chairs.

We focus on both policy and implementation, playing a catalytic role in mobilizing people and resources for sustainable and scalable impact. Our programs aim to empower people to deal with immediate problems while opening the path to more visionary changes.
