The HP Foundation is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization that funds technology-related learning, charitable giving, volunteering, and disaster relief programs for underserved and underrepresented communities where we live, work, and do business.

The HP Foundation works to accelerate digital equity through HP LIFE, its free skills training program. HP LIFE is accessible online, offline, and in person (where safe) offering more than 30 courses in eight languages for entrepreneurs, business owners, and lifelong learners all over the world. It is also an adaptable educational resource used on the ground by trainers, educators, and mentors to enrich curricula, support business creation, and improve employability skills. The self-paced courses are available 24/7 and are designed to teach basic business and IT skills.

When disasters strike, they are there to assist. HP, their employees, and the HP Foundation together provide financial support for affected communities, working with expert partners including the American Red Cross and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
